The = new reporting module leverages real-time data generated by SD=E2=80=99s Fli= ghtDeck Freedom=C2=AE (FDF) datalink service, which accurately captures fue= l burn. The system then calculates each flight=E2=80=99s carbon emissions based on = the amount of fuel burned, fuel type and blend. This presents operators wit= h validated emissions data for individual aircraft, an entire fleet over a = specified period, or for a selected flight. The emissions data is run through a refined calculation developed to comply= with all regulatory standards to determine the amount of carbon emitted. T= he reports display a variety of metrics, including how much CO2 has been ge= nerated, in which airspace it was produced, and how this compares to previo= us or other similar trips. This streamlines the computations relating to mandatory and voluntary emiss= ion reporting and offsetting, making it easier for operators to present pre= cise reports. =E2=80=9CWith the industry pledging to be carbon neutral by 2050, we recogn= ize that aircraft operators need to monitor each flight=E2=80=99s environme= ntal impact. We=E2=80=99ve developed this new tool to help them streamline = the calculations, provide seamless access to offset options and give them c= ontrol over their own reporting and carbon strategy,=E2=80=9D says Jim Jens= en, Founder and CEO of Satcom Direct. =E2=80=9CSD customers no longer need to rely solely on third-party provider= s to analyze the figures and generate the reports. It saves time and ensure= s that all of an operator=E2=80=99s flight departments, no matter where the= y are in the world, use the same standard to ensure consistent calculations= . The carbon reporting tool is especially beneficial to those responsible f= or environmental social governance, ESG, initiatives and ever-evolving CORS= IA compliance. We know the industry will welcome the simplicity and conveni= ence.=E2=80=9D Information is presented graphically and can be used to generate carbon cer= tificates, transactional records for purchased credits, and authenticated t= racking information. Operators benefit from seamless access to qualified ca= rbon credits via approved registries, and carbon credits can be transacted = via the carbon offsetting platform Patch, which is integrated with SD Pro. A choice of over 140 accessible offset projects is available, of which SD w= ill highlight preferred options; however, customers can purchase other proj= ect credits if desired. Initial availability is anticipated by August 2023. The first phase will en= able operators to view CO2 emissions, purchase offset credits, and access a= ssociated certificates and records. Satcom Direct will showcase the new mod= ule and its ease of use during this year=E2=80=99s EBACE at booth T106. Satcom Direct (SD) is founded on a core belief in understanding the value o= f time and the importance of maximizing it.

The headrests were uncomfortable and didn=E2=80=99= t function well, the seat design was plain and standard, and the interior w= as worn. The experts at Duncan Aviation completely overhauled the aircraft= =E2=80=99s interior and exterior, turning it into a masterpiece that will w= ithstand the test of time. The owner of the aircraft envisioned a classic updated scheme that included= subtle patterns in a cool grey, almost navy colour scheme. Highlights of t= he interior included quilted double-stitched diamond pattern inserts in the= seats and dark, rich navy sidewalls. =E2=80=9CHe wanted the seats to be the stars,=E2=80=9D said Duncan Aviation= Lead Designer Heather Pridemore. =E2=80=9CThe contouring shape of the seat= s, accentuated with blue accent stitch lines, make the seats feel taller an= d definitely help them stand out.=E2=80=9D The stitching was done using Duncan Aviation=E2=80=99s new state-of-the-art= CNC machine that allows the upholstery team to create perforation, multi-c= olour sewing, and multi-colour embroidery on aircraft seats and panels. =E2=80=9CThis machine allows us to control the quality and turntimes, and l= ets our imaginations run wild with possible designs,=E2=80=9D says Duncan A= viation=E2=80=99s Upholstery Team Leader Travis Smith. =E2=80=9CThe designs= are pretty close to endless with what we can do on quilted panels.=E2=80= =9D The owner liked the dark, cool grey theme in his interior, but wanted to br= ing in a splash of color. The result was dark, rich blue lower sidewalls th= at give a classic, yet unique look to the interior. They tie in perfectly w= ith the blue stitching on the seats. The carpet is another highlight of the interior. The owner told Pridemore h= e wanted a darker carpet, so she picked a pattern that had light accents in= it to help balance the darkness of the lower sidewalls and the lightness o= f the seats. =E2=80=9CEverything tied in so well together,=E2=80=9D said Pridemore. =E2= =80=9CBeing a small aircraft, it was a priority to make everything look and= feel cohesive and flow seamlessly.=E2=80=9D Pridemore incorporated black composite ebony veneer, and updated all the pl= ating to a satin chrome finish. The result is a straightforward, classic, c= lean, and updated interior. The owner came to Duncan Aviation with an idea of what he wanted for the ex= terior, and Pridemore made tweaks until it was perfected. The result was a = scheme that brings the outside of the aircraft to the inside, highlighted b= y navy blues, silver, and gold accents. The finished product was a modern classic, sleek look that Pridemore said f= it perfectly on the Citation without looking overwhelming. =E2=80=9CThe long, lean lines running aft to forward made the Citation look= bigger than it actually is,=E2=80=9D explained Pridemore. =E2=80=9CThe lin= es pull the aircraft, making it feel longer and more spacious.=E2=80=9D While the aircraft was down, Duncan Aviation technicians also performed a f= ew minor maintenance due items and installed the Collins Pro Line Fusion in= tegrated avionics system and the Collins Venue cabin management system. # http://skylink.com.cy/?utm_source=3Dbrevo&utm_campaign=3DBizav News Roundup= May 2023_copy&utm_medium=3Demail # # Jet Luxe Receives Argus Rated Charter Broker Certificate Jet Luxe has announced that it has received its ARGUS Charter Certificate = =E2=80=93 an internally recognized standard of operational and safety excel= lence.

Satcom Direct adding automated carbon re= porting tool to SD Pro operating system
=C2=A0
Satcom Direct, the business aviation solutions provider, is a= dding a highly automated carbon reporting tool to the SD Pro=C2=AE operatin= g system. The new reporting module leverages real-time data generated by SD= =E2=80=99s FlightDeck Freedom=C2=AE (FDF) datalink service, which accuratel= y captures fuel burn.

The system then calculates each flight=E2= =80=99s carbon emissions based on the amount of fuel burned, fuel type and = blend. This presents operators with validated emissions data for individual= aircraft, an entire fleet over a specified period, or for a selected fligh= t.

The emissions data is run through a refined calculation devel= oped to comply with all regulatory standards to determine the amount of car= bon emitted. The reports display a variety of metrics, including how much C= O2 has been generated, in which airspace it was produced, and how this comp= ares to previous or other similar trips.

This streamlines the co= mputations relating to mandatory and voluntary emission reporting and offse= tting, making it easier for operators to present precise reports.

=E2=80=9CWith the industry pledging to be carbon neutral by 2050, we reco= gnize that aircraft operators need to monitor each flight=E2=80=99s environ= mental impact. We=E2=80=99ve developed this new tool to help them streamlin= e the calculations, provide seamless access to offset options and give them= control over their own reporting and carbon strategy,=E2=80=9D says Jim Je= nsen, Founder and CEO of Satcom Direct.

=E2=80=9CSD customers no= longer need to rely solely on third-party providers to analyze the figures= and generate the reports. It saves time and ensures that all of an operato= r=E2=80=99s flight departments, no matter where they are in the world, use = the same standard to ensure consistent calculations. The carbon reporting t= ool is especially beneficial to those responsible for environmental social = governance, ESG, initiatives and ever-evolving CORSIA compliance. We know t= he industry will welcome the simplicity and convenience.=E2=80=9D

Information is presented graphically and can be used to generate carbon c= ertificates, transactional records for purchased credits, and authenticated= tracking information. Operators benefit from seamless access to qualified = carbon credits via approved registries, and carbon credits can be transacte= d via the carbon offsetting platform Patch, which is integrated with SD Pro= .

A choice of over 140 accessible offset projects is available, = of which SD will highlight preferred options; however, customers can purcha= se other project credits if desired.

Initial availability is ant= icipated by August 2023. The first phase will enable operators to view CO2 = emissions, purchase offset credits, and access associated certificates and = records. Satcom Direct will showcase the new module and its ease of use dur= ing this year=E2=80=99s EBACE at booth T106.

Satcom Direct (SD) = is founded on a core belief in understanding the value of time and the impo= rtance of maximizing it. The company mobilizes the most cutting-edge techno= logies to enable connection wherever you might be. SD=E2=80=99s proprietary= technologies span business aviation and government sectors, with the singu= lar goal of leading connectivity industry standards.

The agreement = is part of Jet Aviation=E2=80=99s continued commitment to innovation and to= expanding its MRO services.

As part of the agreement, Jet Aviat= ion has purchased automated drone technology from Donecle, which uses AI an= d advanced image analysis algorithms to enable fast and accurate aircraft i= nspections. By capturing detailed records of the aircraft, the technology c= an enhance the accuracy of existing services such as Pre-Purchase-Inspectio= ns (PPIs), while offering potential for new services centered around predic= tive maintenance.

=E2=80=9CThis is a fantastic step on our innov= ation journey, as we continue to explore new technologies to enhance our cu= stomer experience,=E2=80=9D says Jeremie Caillet, senior vice president, re= gional operations EMEA.

=E2=80=9CInnovation is essential to cont= inue to drive the industry forward and ensure we evolve to meet the rapidly= changing expectations of our customers. AI is developing at an exciting pa= ce and has the potential to play a central role in increasing efficiency an= d effectiveness across a wide range of MRO procedures. We are delighted to = have entered into this agreement with Donecle and look forward to implement= ing and leveraging this cutting-edge technology in maintenance activities a= cross our network.=E2=80=9D

Duncan Aviation delivers fully refurbishe= d Citation 750
=C2=A0
When this Citation 750 arrived at Duncan Aviation=E2=80=99s = full-service facility in Battle Creek, Michigan, the interior was simple, b= eige, and lacked any pattern or design. The headrests were uncomfortable an= d didn=E2=80=99t function well, the seat design was plain and standard, and= the interior was worn. The experts at Duncan Aviation completely overhaule= d the aircraft=E2=80=99s interior and exterior, turning it into a masterpie= ce that will withstand the test of time.

The owner of the aircra= ft envisioned a classic updated scheme that included subtle patterns in a c= ool grey, almost navy colour scheme. Highlights of the interior included qu= ilted double-stitched diamond pattern inserts in the seats and dark, rich n= avy sidewalls.

=E2=80=9CHe wanted the seats to be the stars,=E2= =80=9D said Duncan Aviation Lead Designer Heather Pridemore. =E2=80=9CThe c= ontouring shape of the seats, accentuated with blue accent stitch lines, ma= ke the seats feel taller and definitely help them stand out.=E2=80=9D
=
The stitching was done using Duncan Aviation=E2=80=99s new state-of-t= he-art CNC machine that allows the upholstery team to create perforation, m= ulti-colour sewing, and multi-colour embroidery on aircraft seats and panel= s.

=E2=80=9CThis machine allows us to control the quality and tu= rntimes, and lets our imaginations run wild with possible designs,=E2=80=9D= says Duncan Aviation=E2=80=99s Upholstery Team Leader Travis Smith. =E2=80= =9CThe designs are pretty close to endless with what we can do on quilted p= anels.=E2=80=9D

The owner liked the dark, cool grey theme in his= interior, but wanted to bring in a splash of color. The result was dark, r= ich blue lower sidewalls that give a classic, yet unique look to the interi= or. They tie in perfectly with the blue stitching on the seats.

= The carpet is another highlight of the interior. The owner told Pridemore h= e wanted a darker carpet, so she picked a pattern that had light accents in= it to help balance the darkness of the lower sidewalls and the lightness o= f the seats.

=E2=80=9CEverything tied in so well together,=E2=80= =9D said Pridemore. =E2=80=9CBeing a small aircraft, it was a priority to m= ake everything look and feel cohesive and flow seamlessly.=E2=80=9D
Pridemore incorporated black composite ebony veneer, and updated all th= e plating to a satin chrome finish. The result is a straightforward, classi= c, clean, and updated interior.

The owner came to Duncan Aviatio= n with an idea of what he wanted for the exterior, and Pridemore made tweak= s until it was perfected. The result was a scheme that brings the outside o= f the aircraft to the inside, highlighted by navy blues, silver, and gold a= ccents.

The finished product was a modern classic, sleek look th= at Pridemore said fit perfectly on the Citation without looking overwhelmin= g.

=E2=80=9CThe long, lean lines running aft to forward made the= Citation look bigger than it actually is,=E2=80=9D explained Pridemore. = =E2=80=9CThe lines pull the aircraft, making it feel longer and more spacio= us.=E2=80=9D

While the aircraft was down, Duncan Aviation techni= cians also performed a few minor maintenance due items and installed the Co= llins Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system and the Collins Venue cabi= n management system.

First-time Flight for Poodle Reunites Dog-Siblings After= Eight Years
= =C2=A0
With more pet owners turning to pr= ivate jet travel to ensure their pets' safety and comfort, Air Partner,= a global aviation services group, recently facilitated an extraordinary pe= t travel flight request to reunite a 45-pound Poodle named Candy with her e= stranged sibling after eight years apart. The flight, which covered over 1,= 000 miles and lasted almost three hours, allowed Candy and her owner to fly= side-by-side in the comfort of a private cabin, avoiding the restrictions = and stress of commercial airlines.

Bringing larger-sized breeds = on board airlines can be challenging due to restrictions, and cargo-hold is= a less-than-favourable choice for transporting pets due to wellbeing conce= rns, including the stress and anxiety caused by being separated, varying te= mperatures and strange, loud environments. Air Partner=E2=80=99s Private Je= ts team ensured all the necessary considerations were made for Candy's = first flight. The team recommended having already-familiar items onboard th= e Beechcraft Hawker 400XP to help keep the Poodle at ease.

The H= awker 400XP, ideal for short to mid-range flights with seating for eight, m= ade an economical choice for the South to North-East route. The light jet o= ffers the comfort of a spacious cabin and features a pocket door that reduc= es noise levels. All paws on board, Candy could relax soundly on her favour= ite Lady & the Tramp throw with fresh water and food nearby.

<= strong>Tranches of Two Global Jet Capital Securitizations Upgraded by S&= ;P Global Ratings

S&P (Standard & Poor=E2=80=99s) Global Rat= ings upgraded its ratings on several tranches of BJETS 2020-1 and BJETS 202= 1-1 ABS notes. In the case of BJETS-2020-1, Class B notes were upgraded to = A- from BBB and Class C notes were upgraded from BB to BBB+, while the Clas= s A notes maintained their A rating. Regarding BJETS 2021-1, Class B notes = were upgraded to BBB+ from BBB and Class C notes were upgraded from BB to B= BB-, while the Class A notes maintained their A rating. Per S&P=E2=80= =99s existing risk criteria, A is the highest achievable rating for notes i= ssued in bizjet transactions.

The notes issued in the BJETS 2022= -1 transaction maintained their existing ratings of A for Class A notes, BB= B for Class B notes and BB for Class C notes.

According to S&= ;P, the upgrades primarily reflect the significant increase in the respecti= ve notes' credit enhancement due to faster-than-expected principal repa= yments, strong collateral collections, and sustained stable portfolio perfo= rmance since closing.

Global Jet Capital, a global leader in fin= ancial solutions for business aircraft, originated and services the securit= ized loans and leases embedded in its ABS transactions.

Global Jet Capital has issued an aggregate of $3= .6 billion of ABS notes collateralized by business aircraft loans and lease= s through its BJETS securitization program. The company is a programmatic i= ssuer in the ABS market, having completed six transactions since its inaugu= ral issuance in 2018.
