Conklin & de Decker will host their 13th Annual Aircraft Acquisition and Planning Seminar in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 5-6, 2012 at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.

Unique from other seminars and workshops, the Conklin & de Decker Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar is the only seminar 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, before, during and after the acquisition.

Created for the aircraft owner, manager or aviation professional that is faced with acquiring an aircraft, determining the best aircraft for their mission or developing a plan for changing their aircraft fleet, this 2-day seminar delivers. 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 behind the various financing alternatives and ownership structures.  The latest on aircraft management, registration and creating a budget for your aircraft will also be covered in this comprehensive seminar.

“This is a must attend event for anyone involved in the acquisition and operation of business aircraft,” commented Nel Stubbs, Conklin & de Decker co-owner and seminar chairwoman.  “We are excited to offer this seminar again this year and we have a great group of experts in their respective fields lined up for this event.  Attendees will learn about all aspects of purchasing and operating an aircraft in one exceptional program,” added Nel.

Registration after this date will be at the regular price of $995 per person.  For more information about this seminar contact Christine Preston at (928) 442-8676 or Christine@conklindd.com, or visit the Conklin & de Decker web site at www.conklindd.com/aap.
