July 25, 2016 – Orleans, Massachusetts -- Conklin & de Decker announced it is hosting the 17th Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar on September 20th – 21st at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Unique from other seminars and workshops, the Conklin & de Decker Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar (AAP) is the only program that is designed to help the aircraft buyer, aircraft owner or aviation professional make informed decisions when buying, selling and owning an aircraft. This seminar will focus on the many areas of concern that affect the aircraft owner throughout the acquisition process.
“This is our 17th AAP seminar, and it is always well attended because of the valuable information we share about the purchasing process as well as covering the complexities of operating a business aircraft in today’s environment,” commented Nel Stubbs, Conklin & de Decker co-owner and seminar chairwoman. “We have an outstanding group of industry experts scheduled to present at this year’s event, in addition to the Conklin & de Decker staff of specialists,” added Nel.
The AAP Seminar is packed full of information that will assist the aviation professional who needs to develop a plan for changing their aircraft fleet, when the time is right, and will help determine which aircraft best meets their mission profile. Attendees will learn about the often confusing Federal and State taxes associated with aircraft acquisitions, depreciation, and like-kind exchanges, as well as the analysis of the various financing alternatives and ownership structures. The latest details about aircraft management, registration and creating a budget for an aircraft operation will also be covered in this comprehensive seminar.
The Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar is certified by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) to be a Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) accredited program, allowing attendees to receive CAM credit for participating in this seminar. Upon written request, Conklin & de Decker will also provide individual attorneys and CPA's with an attendance confirmation letter to support their application for CPE or CLE credit in their respective states. Based on a 50-minute hour, the Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar should be eligible for up to a maximum of 16 CPE/CLE credits for the full 2-day seminar.
