  3. Aircraft by type

  4. Aircraft by date of manufacture • 100 • 80 • 60 • 40 20 1977 1985 1997 2012 # Aircraft by Year

  5. Aircraft by date of manufacture Average Age • 100 • 80 • 60 • 40 20 1977 1985 1993 1997 2012 # Aircraft by Year

  6. Late Model Aircraft • 195 Cessna 182T manufactured after 2002 • 173 of those are G1000 equipped • G1000 distribution • GLR – 20 − PCR - 22 • MER – 22 − RMR - 20 • NCR – 20 − SER - 20 • NER - 23 − SWR - 23

  7. Aircraft Refurb

  8. Aircraft Refurb initiative • 8 facilities involved in refurb • 13 completed since November 2010 • 3 – SER • 3 – NER • 2 – SWR • 2 – PCR • 1 – GLR • 1 – MER +1 en route • 10 currently in progress

  9. Aircraft Refurb initiative • Primarily Cessna 172s • 1-182 and 3-206s • Criteria for selection • 4,500 hr TTAF or less • No extensive corrosion • No crash or serious damage history • No assurance of return to the wing of origin • Refurbs distributed as part of the aircraft allocation plan

  15. CESSNA AIRCRAFT UPDATE Cessna announces Jet-A Fueled Turbo Skylane JT-A Cessna to discontinue production of avgas powered 182s

  16. Advantages • Lower fuel burn rate • Increased range • 2400 hr TBO • Reduced CO emissions • Disadvantages • Cost is $145,000 more than the 182T • 125 lb reduction in payload • 18.5 gallon fuel reduction or 1.7 hours • Limited availability of Jet-A at smaller airfields • Most shops have no experience with diesel

  17. CONSIDERATIONS • Use acquisition funds to buy turbo 206s • Evaluate imaging systems broad industry RFI • Consider acquiring late model used 182s and modifying to CAP specifications • Explore other manufacturers aircraft

  18. Aircraft MAINTENANCE

  19. Rising Cost of Aircraft Maintenance

  20. FACTORS BEARING ON MAINTENANCE COSTS • Labor rate $ 45 - $85/hr ( 5% increase per year) • Oil prices – tires, paint, plastic and lubricants • Engines and props $25,000 to $40,000 • Mishaps – prop strikes, hard landings, hangar strikes • Paint and Interiors • Reductions in flying time

  21. Average Cost Per Flying Hour

  22. Challenges Ahead • Increasing costs of aircraft maintenance • Declining budgets • Increasing costs of 100 LL • Decreases in total flying time • Cessna terminating 182T production • Fleet modernization in a declining economy • Uncertainty of meeting future mission needs under current constraints • ADS-B 2020 mandate • Rightsizing the aircraft fleet
