Case Studies: Aviation Facility
Aviation facility owners and aerospace operators can significantly boost their liquidity by capturing specialized tax incentives designed for large-scale infrastructure. Engineered Tax Services helps these organizations maximize their financial resources by identifying building components—including reinforced hangar floors, heavy-duty electrical systems for aircraft support, and specialized fire suppression—that qualify for accelerated 5, 7, and 15-year depreciation schedules. Because an aviation facility often encompasses vast square footage and complex mechanical systems, an ETSengineering-based study provides the immediate cash flow necessary to fund facility expansions, fleet maintenance, or equipment upgrades.
Aviation Facility Case Studies
The technical scale of an aviation facility offers extensive opportunities for tax recovery through both cost segregation and energy-efficiency incentives. Engineered Tax Services meticulously documents assets like taxiway improvements and specialized maintenance bay infrastructure to move them away from the standard 39-year commercial life cycle. Furthermore, ETS evaluates these properties for 179D energy tax deductions, which can reach up to $5.81 per square foot for high-efficiency LED lighting and HVAC systems in massive hangars. These results demonstrate how Engineered Tax Services provides the rigorous documentation needed to boost Net Present Value and ensure a defensible tax position for leaders across the aerospace industry.
