Welcome to the new quarterly BCA. While it looks different, the content should feel familiar. You’ll find features written by many of the same award-winning authors who you’ve grown used to --James Albright, Roger Cox, David Esler, Kent Jackson and Patrick Veillette. I would also like to introduce you to Bill Carey, BCA’s senior editor, an award-winning business aviation writer who also has expertise in avionics and air traffic management.
We rushed to do this because we know that the industry relies on the Purchase Planning Handbook as a reference throughout the year. It includes the same charts that you’re used to, but we’ve made it easier for you to view—so you peruse by sections (pistons, turboprops, jets and ultra-long-range jets).
While BCA will continue to provide the operational content that has been our mainstay since 1958, this new digital medium will bring you closer to aircraft with videos and interactive graphics we could not show you in print. A table of contents link at the bottom of each article brings up a menu that will allow you to easily navigate through the issue.
You also won’t have to trudge out to your mailbox once a month. Our BCA team is now delivering fresh insights and data every business day. If you haven’t yet signed up for our complimentary daily BCA Digest, click here.
Visit the website, where you’ll find new BCA content, including checklists, Fast 5 interviews, Marketplace features and galleries—along with additional features to help operators and managers of business aircraft safely and efficiently run their flight departments. Also check out our new Aircraft Overview, which curates information from BCA, Aircraft Bluebook, Air Charter Guide and Aviation Week’s fleet and forecast services. We publish two Aircraft Overviews per month on the site. While we’re revamping to deliver critical information to you in a faster and fresher format, we will never lose sight of BCA’s amazing legacy. Please reach out to me with any comments or ideas at leeann.shay@aviationweek.com.
