Mr. J,
The previous operator was the Kingdom of Jordan. Aircraft now owned by the Goverment of
Abu Dhabi. "AKA Royal Jet / Presidential Flight Authority'
Royal Jet has 6 BBJ's. Two new BBJ's to arrive soon as part of a fleet renewal.
The aircraft shows well. The soft goods are in great shape. The headliner looks new.
The woodwork has 12 coats of lacquer. Most aircraft are not at this level. This is certainly a
VVIP interior. the metalwork and switches were in good shape also. Interior was 8.5 out of 10.
The landing gear looks new as it was overhauled last 2014. Pictures forthcoming.
The aft and mid LAVs are large. Each has its own shower. I have not come across a BBJ with
2 showers.
The aircraft engines have been swapped throughout the fleet. Normal when you have a few
aircraft.
The primary reason for the swap is to not have two engines coming due for inspection at the
same time, which would ground your aircraft.
The aircraft has the high altitude landing kit installed.
Exterior paint was 7 out of 10. Paint did not have the wet look shine.
You have the ability to add additional PATS aux tanks if you require more range.
A few negatives:
The soft goods and carpet were not my style as I like something more modern.
Front entry doors left and right (LI and R1) could use a recovering as there was a slight
discoloration due to sun and rain.
Overwing exit door areas had scuff marks the bottom 3-6 inches. You should recover with ultra
leather.
The flat screens while large are old tech and not HD. Most owners are swapping out to 4K
screens.
I would recommend adding to the budget for an updated IFE system.
• The C1 check is due AUG 2017.1 would budget 400-500K.
During the pre-purchase inspection you should have a borescope done on the engines. Larry
will be familiar with all of these issues.

If you plan to move forward I recommend local (UAE) legal review to link up with your attorney.
Most VIPs in this region use Bunker and Associates. B&A are the go to Aviation legal team in
this area. They advise Emirates as outside legal and were instrumental in the closing of our
BBJ deal.
B&A are linked up with legal professionals in Oklahoma City that can assists with any import/
export issues and re-registration. Bunker reviewed our pre-purchase agreement and made
numerous changes to our advantage. B&A directed us to proper aviation tax professionals to
advise on our BBJ deal. B&A are Canadians.
Best wishes,
Matt Brown
