Conklin & de Decker will host their 16thAnnual Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar in Scottsdale, Arizona on September 29th – 30that 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 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 throughout the acquisition process.

“We adjusted our calendar for this seminar this year so as not to conflict with other industry events this fall,” commented Nel Stubbs, Conklin & de Decker co-owner and seminar chairwoman. “We have an outstanding group of experts in their respective fields lined up for this event and expect a full house. Attendees will learn about all aspects of purchasing and operating an aircraft in one exceptional 2-day program,” 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 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 behind the various financing alternatives and ownership structures. The latest about aircraft management, registration and creating a budget for your aircraft will also be covered in this comprehensive program.

The Aircraft Acquisition Planning Seminar is also 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 the seminar.
