Honeywell no longer supports the Mark V EGPWS. Avcon now holds an FAA STC to install the MKV-A on Learjet 40/45/60, Challenger 600/601/604 and Global Express/5000 models. The problem shifts from finding a fix to scheduling one. globalair.com/articles/mark-…

Avfuel's Keith Sawyer says his NBAA-BACE panel's view is that SAF will be part of every FBO's offering by 2030. The Oct. 21 session will look at how operators and FBOs can prepare. globalair.com/articles/avfue…

Most aircraft upgrades are decided years before a sale. Mente's updated values platform adds transaction data and residual-value projections so owners can run the resale math sooner. Which upgrades hold value is still open. globalair.com/articles/mente…

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford opens NBAA-BACE's Meet the Regulators session Oct. 20. Two unresolved issues come with him: a proposed change to oxygen-mask rules and the end of single-pilot exemptions for legacy Citations. globalair.com/articles/two-u…

Wheels Up signed a five-year, flat-rate landing-gear agreement with Av8 for its Phenom 300 fleet. For a fleet operator, the overhaul invoice is the predictable part. The downtime is what this deal is built around. globalair.com/articles/wheel…

The FAA priced its proposed Challenger 300/350/3500 trim AD at $85 per jet. That covers the paperwork. Retraining crews to treat AP STAB TRIM FAIL as an emergency is the real cost, and the FAA calls this fix interim. globalair.com/articles/chall…

IADA's broker certification now requires a study course and a three-month prep period on top of two years of deal experience. A scarcer badge only matters if buyers ask for it. The market now decides what the extra work is worth. globalair.com/articles/iada-…

MRO capacity gets its own hour at NBAA-BACE. Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1:30 p.m., Las Vegas, with West Star's Stephen Maiden and Coltala's Suresh Narayanan expected. Technician shortages, aging facilities and consolidation get a time slot of their own. globalair.com/articles/mro-c…

NetJets and Flexjet are tied to more than 400 potential Praetor 500/600 sales, per Forecast International. The fleets buying today's jets will decide when tomorrow's used inventory arrives. Replacement cycles are the market signal now. globalair.com/articles/forec…

The FAA just told Centennial tenants that fighting a $1,200 rent means bringing their own evidence. Owners who document nearby hangar rates now will have a case. Everyone else will have a bigger budget line. globalair.com/articles/salt-…

NBAA-BACE runs Oct. 20-22 in Las Vegas, but the airplanes at Henderson are on the ramp only Oct. 20 (1-5 p.m.) and Oct. 21 (9 a.m.-5 p.m.). Oct. 22 has no ramp time. Plan the airplanes first, the booths second. globalair.com/articles/nbaa-…

No G700 or G800 was listed on GlobalAir.com as of Oct. 6. The live market sits a tier down: six Global 7500s listed, 81 inquiries in 30 days, and a roughly $3M upgrade to Global 8000 spec. The back door into the top tier is open. globalair.com/articles/here-…

Duncan Aviation will now rent Bombardier Global operators a nose landing gear, so the jet keeps flying while its own gear is repaired. After Blackhawk's PT6A exchange in September, the pattern is clear: MROs are selling uptime. globalair.com/articles/dunca…

The fuel receipt said Jet-A. The pilot read it and flew the Cessna 421C anyway. Avgas is dyed blue; this fuel was clear. The sump sample was the last barrier, and the only one the pilot fully owned. globalair.com/articles/cessn…

The FAA just proposed special conditions for the HondaJet Echelon's 47,000-foot operation. The program is alive. First deliveries now target 2031, and the Phenom 300E, CJ4 and PC-24 are available today. The Echelon's toughest competitor is the wait. globalair.com/articles/honda…

A relay in the PC-24's left windshield heat can pass reverse current when switched off. If both generators fail in icing, the emergency heat may not work. The FAA's fix runs $244.50 to $1,457, once. Cheap part, worst possible moment. globalair.com/articles/pilat…

Avionics are aging out before the airframes they fly in. Honeywell's MSP rebates, $10,000 to $30,000, end Dec. 31. A Falcon 7X already enrolled gets $30,000 toward EASy IV. A new customer gets $15,000. Loyalty pays double. globalair.com/articles/honey…

The Falcon 2000EX AD due Jan. 14 involves no wrenches. 315 U.S. aircraft need revised maintenance programs. The real exposure is limits that never reach the tracking software, and the buyer who finds the gap. The records are the airworthiness. globalair.com/articles/falco…
