In order to share costs, manage aircraft utilization and increase flexibility, many owners and operators develop aircraft sharing structures. During the seminar, Jim and John will examine the pros and cons of various strategies for sharing a business aircraft. Attendees will learn how to:

• Evaluate various aircraft sharing strategies including charter, timeshares and dry leases in light of Federal Aviation Regulations and tax planning considerations.
• Develop strategies for managing a sharing structure, including allocating costs between the owner and users, managing scheduling challenges and other practical considerations.
• Review key FAA regulations and recent legal opinions involving aircraft sharing.

In addition to their deep understanding of the industry and laws that govern it, Jim and John are actively involved in the aviation community and bring a practical perspective to the sometimes conflicting rules in this area.
