jetAVIVA expands Jet Acceptance Service to include the Embraer Phenom 100, Celebrates 100th VLJ Acceptance

VAN NUYS, CA - December 30, 2008 - jetAVIVA, the leading VLJ Services firm, today began offering its complete inspection and flight test service for the Embraer Phenom 100. The company is also celebrating the completion of its 100th acceptance with the inspection of Citation Mustang serial number 159.

JetAVIVA's Jet Acceptance Service includes a pre-delivery flight test, using one of the most comprehensive flight test profiles in the business, followed by an 800-point technical inspection of the aircraft and a thorough cosmetic inspection. Aircraft performance is validated, all systems are tested, and handling qualities are evaluated. Production and registration records are examined.

Jet Acceptance Service for the Phenom 100 also includes delivery from Brazil, where the aircraft is manufactured, to North America. jetAVIVA assists with the importation process when the jet arrives in its home country. In all, the Phenom 100 acceptance, delivery, and importation process is anticipated to take approximately 10 days.

jetAVIVA's staff includes aeronautical engineers and flight test professionals. The company had its first Jet Acceptance Professional earn his Phenom type rating just one week after FAA certification of the aircraft on December 12th, 2008.

John Hayes, owner of Cessna Citation Mustang serial number 124, hired jetAVIVA to accompany him at his delivery. John says, “A new owner would be absolutely crazy to accept delivery of a new plane without jetAVIVA to help out. I was certainly delighted with their work.”

Current jetAVIVA Client Jon Gilbert says “I hired jetAVIVA to complete the acceptance on my Eclipse 500. I was absolutely delighted with their service. jetAVIVA will be by my side when I go to pick up my Phenom 100 from Embraer in 2009. Operators should not consider taking delivery of such a complex machine without a professional who is working on their behalf.”

Says jetAVIVA CEO Ben Marcus, “We have had the honor of helping over 100 light jet owners take delivery of their aircraft. Embraer's new light jet is very exciting and we look forward to helping Phenom owners bring their jets into service.”

jetAVIVA co-founders speak at AOPA Expo 2008

VAN NUYS, CA - September 21, 2008 - jetAVIVA co-Founders Ben Marcus and Cyrus Sigari have been asked by AOPA to deliver an address on the current landscape of Very Light Jets.

jetAVIVA has been focused exclusively on VLJ's since the company was founded by Marcus and Sigari almost 3 years ago. jetAVIVA provides sales and acquisition services, factory acceptance and training in all production Very Light jets and has worked with hundreds of clients from around the world.

"The VLJ race is on, there are a lot of manufacturers pushing hard to win." says Ben Marcus, CEO of jetAVIVA. "Between milestones and setbacks of individual OEMs and the rapidly changing global economy, it seems like the VLJ landscape is changing every week. We are looking forward to talking with the members of AOPA, updating them on emerging aircraft specification, giving our impressions of where the market is headed and answer their questions on this exciting new world of GA aircraft".

Citation Mustang Training

jetAVIVA has announced that it is expanding its Experience Light Jets program to include the Cessna Citation Mustang.

The company has been offering Experience Light Jets (ELJ) in the Eclipse 500 since September 2007. In response to high demand, the company will begin offering pre-type rating training in Cessna Citation Mustang later this year. The company's fleet of six VLJs, including Eclipse 500s and Mustangs, is growing quickly.

The ELJ program is built to allow pilots to achieve four primary goals:

• Become a safer jet pilot
• Gain experience in a Very Light Jet
• Excel during type rating training
• If applicable, help determine which VLJ is right for each Client

ELJ is focused on the customer experience: fly when you want, where you want and concentrate on the areas you feel are of highest value. With jetAVIVA's flexible training programs, ELJ can accommodate both the experienced jet pilot looking for type specific training and the novice general aviation pilot looking for complete immersion in jet operations.

"I used to own a King Air and am currently flying an Aerostar," says Lloyd Martin, jetAVIVA client. "I felt like I needed some exposure to jets before I went to school for my type rating. ELJ gave me the confidence I need to get through the type rating training smoothly."

ELJ is offered in three packages: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced, providing 10.5, 25, and 45 hours of flight time respectively. All programs come with necessary training materials and ground school. Many clients find that their ELJ experience is helpful in determining which type of VLJ they would like to buy.
