August greetings,

If you happen to be looking for something to do on a sunny, summer day, try perusing the AOPA’s Aviation Calendar of Events (www.aopa.org/pilot/calendar/). Th e extensive listing has everything from Barnstormer and museum tours to fl y-ins, rallies and breakfast socials. Check to see if there’s something happening in or around your town.

Th is month, CAMP team members will be at the LABACE Conference in São Paulo, Brazil – booth #4025. Hope to see you there.

Coming up in September, you can catch CAMP in Seattle, WA where we will be hosting a CAMP Training Seminar (September 19) and attending the NBAA Regional Forum (September 20). CAMP Training sessions are a half day long and free to attend. Each seminar covers basic navigation, quick access to common functionality of the CAMP Maintenance application, as well as CESCOM use in CAMP, iCAMP and more. To register, visit www.campsystems.com. For more info or additional seminar dates fl ip to the back cover or visit the CAMP website.

Th e NBAA Forum is being hosted by Clay Lacy Aviation at Boeing Field (BFI). NBAA Forums are full day events that off er ample networking and educational opportunities. Session titles on the Seattle agenda include:

• Washington Tax Developments You and Your Clients Need to Know About• General Session: Challenges and Opportunities for Business Aviation• Loss of Control In-Flight: Mitigation Strategies for Business Avaition• Best Practices for Transitioning from Paper to Digital Charts• Update on the Future Air Navigation System (FANS)

Th ere will also be exhibits and a static aircraft display. For details on attending the Forum, please visit the NBAA’s website at www.nbaa.org/events/forums.

If you missed out on last month’s issue of InSight, I’d like to again mention the launch of a new CAMP feature – Th e Maintenance Log. Th e Maintenance Log increases your control over the Update and Logbook process. It allows you to create a list of tasks, discrepancies and even free fl ow miscellaneous entries of maintenance that you have accomplished which can be built either in one session or over several weeks. To learn more about this new feature reach out to your Field Service Representative, Analyst, or a member of the Application Support Team. Th ey’d be glad to help get you started.

In the meantime, enjoy this month’s issue.

Best regards,

4 CAMP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL ❖ AUGUST 2012 AUGUST 2012 ❖ CAMP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL 5

here are numerous options for operating your aircraft, ranging from leasing, chartering, full ownership or the many ways to share aircraft ownership. Th e primary drivers behind these

alternative arrangements are the acquisition costs, operating costs and the legal and tax considerations. Th is article will focus on the shared aircraft ownership options and how they are the same and how they diff er.

Joint Ownership

First and easiest to describe is “joint ownership”. Joint ownership is defi ned under FAR Part 91.501(c)(3) as “…an arrangement whereby one of the registered joint owners of an airplane employs and furnishes the fl ight crew for that airplane and each of the registered joint owners pays a share of the charge specifi ed in the agreement.” Th e FAA has not established a minimum percentage of ownership; however, the relationship must be a true joint ownership and not just a token ownership interest. (FAA Chief Counsel Opinion 10/2/89)

Th e IRS has also determined through various Letter Rulings (Private Letter Rulings 8052082 and 8148032) that a joint ownership agreement, if executed correctly, is noncommercial for tax purposes. Th is is based on the fact that each of the co-tenants, or registered joint owners, pay their pro rata share of all fi xed costs (i.e., hangar rental, property taxes, insurance, debt service, maintenance and depreciation) attributable to the aircraft and each also pay the direct operating costs (fuel expenses, landing fees and pilot expenses) when they are on board their aircraft.

In addition, each of the co-tenants maintains considerable control over the pilots. Th is includes the ability to hire a pilot, other than the ones employed by a joint owner. Also, pilots are under the co-tenant’s exclusive

Shared Aircraft Ownership OptionsBy Nel Stubbs, VP/Co-Owner, Conklin & de Decker

TTcontrol, subject to the discretion of the pilots as to safety issues.

Under this arrangement, the IRS has determined that the amounts paid by the co-tenants for costs associated with the use of their aircraft will not be considered amounts paid for the use of someone else’s aircraft. Rather, their payments cover the costs of operating their own aircraft, of which they have possession and use.

Fractional Ownership

Fractional ownership is a concept, under FAR 91 Subpart K, where registered co-owners of an aircraft employ a management company to manage the aircraft and allow the management company to dry lease exchange the aircraft among their fl eet of aircraft. When owners purchase an interest in an aircraft it guarantees the owner a set number of hours of fl ight time per year based on the ownership interest. Under this arrangement, the management company establishes the suitability requirements for the pilots and, in most instances, supplies pilots and pays their salaries. Th e owner can provide his or her own pilots, however, with 24-hours notice.

If an aircraft in which an owner has an interest is not available for the owner’s use at a particular time, under the dry lease exchange agreement, the management company will provide another aircraft from the program. Under the management agreement, if there are no program aircraft available, the management company will provide an aircraft from its charter fl eet.

Under these circumstances, even though the owners are the title-holders of the aircraft, the IRS has determined that the owners have relinquished possession, command and control of their respective aircraft to the management company that provides the air transportation.

Given the totality of the circumstances, the IRS has determined that the management company

Other Forms of Shared Ownership

Co-ownership is very similar to joint ownership whereby each of the owners is a registered owner of an aircraft; however, instead of one of the owners operating the aircraft for all of the owners, each of the owners is responsible for employing their own pilots. Usually in the case of co-ownership the respective owners will independently fl y the aircraft themselves, hire a pilot or hire a management company to not only pilot the aircraft but also maintain the aircraft.

Another form of co-ownership is where the owners of the aircraft create an entity to be the registered owner of the aircraft and each of the “owners” is a member or shareholder in this entity. Th e diff erence here is that the entity that was created to purchase the aircraft cannot have operational control of the aircraft and therefore cannot pay the pilot(s). Rather, there needs to be a dry lease from the entity to each of the members or shareholders for their use of the aircraft and each of them would hire/pay for the crew, much like the traditional co-ownership arrangement.

Joint Ownership, Shared Ownership and Fractional Ownership can all be Part 91 operations and not subject to the commercial Federal Excise Tax, when executed correctly. So when talking about any of the shared aircraft ownership options it is in everyone’s best interest to understand how they diff er and which one you or your client are truly interested in as it will impact the application of Federal and state taxes on the aircraft and how the FAA looks at the operation.

AMSTATMarket Analysiswith Tom Benson, Executive Vice President of AMSTAT

Th is month’s AMSTAT Market Analysis article, including all commentary and notes, was written by Tom Benson, Executive Vice President of AMSTAT. AMSTAT is the leading provider of market research information and services to the corporate aviation industry. Founded in 1982, and based in Tinton Falls, NJ, AMSTAT introduced the concept of providing researched information to corporate aviation professionals.

AMSTAT Business Aviation Market Update ReportJuly 2012

As the leading provider of researched market information to the business aviation industry, AMSTAT publishes this Business Aviation Market Update Report on a quarterly basis. The purpose of this report

is to assess the current state of the pre-owned business aircraft market by presenting an update of the most important market metrics as well as a comparison of those metrics to historical trends.

Section 1: Resale Transaction Activity

Commentary/Notes on Transaction Activity:

- Q2 was a strong quarter for resale retail transaction activity as transactions were up from Q1 to Q2 in all aircraft categories.

- Q2 transaction activity was near its 20-year average levels for all categories of Business Jets. For Turboprops, transaction activity still lagged its 20-year average levels by 0.6%.

Section 2: Aircraft For Sale Inventory (Pre-Owned)

[Section 2 continued]

Section 3: Asking Prices (Pre-Owned)

Commentary/Notes on For Sale Inventory:

- Q/Q For Sale Inventory was down for Jets and Turboprops, but essentially fl at for Helicopters. Y/Y For Sale Inventory was down for all categories except Heavy Jets.

- For Turboprops, the level of For Sale Inventory is now below its 20-year average. This is a promising sign for this market segment.

- For Business Jets, the level of For Sale Inventory has recovered since 2008/09, but is still somewhat above 20-year averages in all categories.

Commentary/Notes on Asking Prices:

- For Fixed Wing aircraft, the trend is continued erosion in Asking Prices for Light and Medium Jets, but relative stability in Asking Prices for Heavy Jets and Turboprops.

- Turbine Helicopters have seen increasing asking prices over the past year, but slight decreases over the past quarter.

- Aircraft average asking prices must always be analyzed with caution. Actual selling prices can differ signifi cantly from asking prices.

UserHot Tip CAMP APPLICATIONwith Tom Maher, Dassault / HBC Field Service Rep

Preparing for Your Next Maintenance Event

This month we would like to show you how you can easily begin planning for your next maintenance event.

Here is the operational situation: you just had your last Inspection done back in March 2012 and you need to start preparing for your next scheduled inspection coming due in September 2012. Take this short walk with me through the CAMP application as we build up a ‘ Camp Work Order’, which you can then use to communicate with your Service Center providers to receive quotes and help get your aircraft scheduled as far in advance as possible.

It all starts here at the Aircraft info page.

Make sure these three important items are addressed:

1: MTX Summary- all updates done? Yes- Move along…

2: A/C Time Current? Yes- Move along…

3: Program Changes? Just review and be aware. Call your analyst if there is anything you need clarifi ed.

Next, we’ll set up a new Camp Work Order as a place to capture the items which we want the Service Centers to provide us a bid on:

1: Simply click on Work Orders in the Left Menu.

2: Select ‘Add New Work Order’ from the header bar.

3: Fill out the work order number, Date in and brief discreption, then click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the window.

You now have a Camp Work Order available to start staging your items!

You can assign items from:

1: The Due List

2: The Status

3: Even make or use the Discrepance tools inside CAMP 3.0

For demonstration purposes, we will select and pull items in from the Due List:

05-08-00-200-800-01 1A Inspection

05-08-00-200-800-00 1A+ Inspection

If I replace an engine or APU do I need to send in the complete logbook?

Yes, the reason that we would require the complete logbook is so that we can get the complete picture of the sched-uled maintenance and life limit parts status.

How can I track items with a requirement other than the ones from the Manufacturer - i.e. life vest?

Contact your CAMP Analyst and ex-plain what you need tracked. It can be added right to the system or they can walk you through how to add a cus-tomer code.

Does the CAMP website offer contact information, such as email and mailing addresses?

Yes, CAMP’s website, www.campsys-tems.com, offers several contact re-sources.

For CAMP locations, mailing addresses, telephone- and fax numbers - select ‘Company’ then ‘Locations’ from the menu.

To email CAMP’s Management Team - select ‘Company’ then ‘Management Team.’

For a list of email addresses including Aircraft Group Managers & Field Ser-vice Representatives select ‘Support’ then ‘Contacts.’

I know I can generate a logbook en-try during an update. Can I generate a logbook insert for tasks that have been accomplished in the past?

Yes, you must search for the tasks you want to include in the entry. On the “task search” screen enter the date (or a date range) in the “C/W Date” fi eld parameter. When you get the search results click on the “click to print log-book insert report” icon (the notepad with a “L” on it). Then select the items you want, chose a signoff statement, enter times, and print. This report can also be produced as a MSWord docu-ment, which would allow you to format it any special way you need.

When I try to update an engine inspec-tion from the “perform updates” screen, the system tells me that the engine task number is invalid. How do I update an engine item?

You must chose what engine you are going to update the items on. In the Type/Position fi eld enter the applicable info, E1 for the #1 engine, E2 for the number 2, A1 for APU tasks, etc... But this way limits you to one engine at a time. If you want to update tasks from multiple engines and airframe items, leave the Type/Position fi eld blank, then click on the binoculars next to the Item No.s fi eld. Choose items from all of your engines, add them to the basket and search for airframe items. Once you have everything you want to update in the basket, hover over the shopping cart and choose “update items”.

How can I combine my Status Report with the Requirement report?

18 CAMP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL ❖ AUGUST 2012 AUGUST 2012 ❖ CAMP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL 19

A lthough the Great Depression loomed in the spring of 1929, America was entering the “Golden

Age of Aviation,” and the editor of Modern Mechanics and Inventions magazine, Westy Farmer, encouraged his readers to buy manuals for homebuilt aircraft like the Heath Parasol. Infused with a passion for aviation, and a fl are for the dramatic, he penned an editorial on power plants, fl atly stating, “No auto engine can be converted to fl ight. Th ey are too heavy.” Th e small population of Cherry Grove, Minnesota included a self-taught engineer and all-around handyman who knew better, and soon proved it to Farmer and the world. His name was Bernard Pietenpol.

Cherry Grove had a grocery store owned by Pietenpol’s parents, a lumber mill and a blacksmith shop. Pietenpol, then age 28, had converted his parent’s barn into a garage where he serviced Ford automobiles, farm equipment, and anything with an engine. For his own amusement he designed everything from radios to wheelchairs.

When the fi rst barnstormers buzzed the dairy barns, corn fi elds and cherry orchards of southern Minnesota, three neighborhood pals knew they wanted to fl y: Bernard Pietenpol, Donald Finke, and Orrin Hoopman. Th ey found spare parts, built or machined what they could not buy, and experimented with ineff ective motorcycle, aircraft and automobile engines for an airplane of their own design. By 1928, led by Pietenpol’s mechanical wizardry, they had settled on an airworthy monoplane fuselage made of plywood and spruce, powered by a converted Model T engine.

Th e Father of Homebuilt AircraftBernard Harold Pietenpol (1901-1984)

with Giacinta Bradley KoontzInsighttothePast

Th e Challenge

In 1929 Ford produced the Model A, which Pietenpol immediately mounted on his aircraft’s 18-foot wooden frame along with a Model T radiator and a WWI surplus Lawrance propeller. Th e instrument panel included a throttle, airspeed indicator, tachometer, and height meter (altimeter), a magneto switch, and oil and water temperature gauges. Th e wings were 29 feet across, covered with varnished bed sheet fabric. Th e plane sat six feet off the ground, with the tail-dragging skid made from part of a Ford spring leaf. No tail wheel. No brakes. Pietenpol’s friend Eddie Sampson fondly recalled Pietenpol’s philosophy: “If you don’t put it on there, it won’t give you any trouble.” Pietenpol named it the “Two-Place.” Finke built another “Two-Place” (with no assembly drawings) and in response to Farmer’s challenge, they off ered to fl y up and show him that an automobile engine worked “just fi ne” on airplanes.

Farmer obliged and invited them to festivities to be held at Minnesota Airport on April 14, 1930, in honor of visiting high ranking Army offi cials. Bad weather elsewhere caused the Army to cancel and Farmer’s media event, like the Titanic exactly 18 years prior, was sinking fast. Fortunately for all involved, Pietenpol and Finke eff ortlessly landed across the runway outside the perimeter fence, prompting Farmer’s curiosity. Dashing across the fi eld in his car, Farmer quickly learned his challenge had been met. Seizing the opportune moment Farmer announced to the awaiting crowd that he had “organized” a demonstration by two local fl iers in airplanes they had built using Model A engines. Pietenpol and Finke took to the sky, and landed amid applause, in front of the airport terminal. Much to their astonishment their “Two-Place” machines became the center of a media frenzy. Everyone who saw the homebuilt aircraft suddenly believed that they too could own and fl y an airplane.

Th ey wanted a “Two-Place” for themselves. When the dust settled, Pietenpol got help making assembly plans to match what he had already built, and patent the design. His weekend hobby had turned into a business.

Farmer featured Pietenpol’s drawing plans in Modern Mechanics magazine which sold for $7.50. By 1932, Pietenpol advertisements featured photographs of “Th e Two-Place” in a fi eld, with airmen camped under its wing. Th ereafter he named it the “Air Camper,” and by 1934 he had set up his aircraft factory at Cherry Grove in an abandoned church.

Simple and Recycled

Th e initial Civil Aeronautics Administration regulations didn’t require licensing for Homebuilt aircraft. Although requirements, restrictions and other rules governing aircraft changed through the years, Pietenpol’s simple design did not. Th e “Air Camper” plans which the Pietenpol family continues to sell remains unchanged from the original.

in his garage using a Model A engine. “It’s a simple design,” says Peek. “You can put almost any kind of engine on the nose of his airframe - Ford A, Ford T, Ford V8, Velie, Kinner, Lycoming, Franklin, and Continental - all with good results.”

In the 1950s, Paul Poberezny and other like-minded aviation enthusiasts organized the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and later organized EAA’s AirVenture at Oshkosh, Wisonsin. So important is Bernard Pietenpol to the essence of EAA that a hangar designed and built by him was disassembled and recycled for use at Oshkosh’s Pioneer Airport. It was a fi tting tribute, as Pietenpol’s designs were simple and he recycled everything. An “Air Camper” is on display inside the “Pietenpol hangar” along with a

lawn mower Pietenpol made using a washing machine engine during the 1930s.

In 1985, Don and Julia Downie wrote “Air Camping” which featured this photograph of a “modern” Pietenpol Air Camper built and owned by Larry Crowell of Tucson, Arizona.
