  "summary": "ASC 360-908 governs property, plant, and equipment accounting unique to airlines: unit versus group depreciation, rotable parts, airframe modifications, and airframe/engine overhauls. Its core rules are that modifications enhancing an aircraft's usefulness must be capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the aircraft's or the modification's useful life, and that overhauls must be accounted for under one of three permitted methods—direct expensing, built-in overhaul, or deferral—with the accrue-in-advance (accrual) method prohibited.",
  "key_points": [
    "A depreciation method may be applied to a single asset (unit method, typically aircraft and engines with large unit costs) or to a homogeneous pool (group method, typically rotable parts and assemblies), with ease of application being the basis of selection (360-908-35-1).",
    "Rotable parts and assemblies of significant value are classified with flight equipment as fixed assets (360-908-45-1) and are normally depreciated over their useful or service lives under a group method (360-908-35-2).",
    "Costs of interior configuration modifications that enhance the usefulness of the aircraft shall be capitalized (360-908-25-1) and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the aircraft or of the modification, whichever is less (360-908-35-3).",
    "Air carriers must adopt a method that recognizes overhaul expense in the appropriate period; permitted methods are direct expensing (908-720-25-3), the built-in overhaul method, and the deferral method, and the accrue-in-advance method is prohibited in annual and interim periods (360-908-25-2; 360-10-25-5).",
    "Under the built-in overhaul method, aggregate aircraft cost is segregated into components depreciated over the aircraft's useful life and an overhaul component that is set up separately and amortized to the date of the initial overhaul; each subsequent overhaul cost is then capitalized and amortized to the next overhaul (360-908-30-2; 360-908-35-5).",
    "Under the deferral method, the actual cost of each overhaul is capitalized and amortized to the next overhaul (360-908-30-3; 360-908-35-6).",
    "On replacement, the cost of the replaced asset net of accumulated depreciation and anticipated recovery value is charged to income in the current period, using estimates where detailed records are inadequate (360-908-40-1); manufacturer purchase incentive credits are accounted for under 705-20-25-1 through 25-5, or as a lease incentive under Topic 842 if the aircraft is leased (360-908-55-1)."

This Subtopic provides guidance for accounting for certain property, plant, and equipment assets for entities in the airline industry. It includes guidance on:

1.  a
    
    The use of unit and group depreciation methods.
    
2.  b
    
    Rotable parts. [Rotable parts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#rotable-parts "Rotable parts are normally repaired and reused, as opposed to those parts that are consumed in the operations (expendable parts).") relate to flight equipment.
    
3.  c
    
    [Airframe](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#airframe "The structure of an aircraft, excluding engines and accessories. The principal parts of the airframe of an airplane include the fuselage (the body), wings, empennage (the assembly of stabilizing and control surfaces at the tail), landing gear, and nacelles or pods (engine housings).") modifications. Airlines have undertaken major programs to modify interior configurations of certain aircraft types—including the reconfiguration and replacement of seats, galley equipment, and storage space—in response to market forces and passenger demands. Since deregulation, such changes have been more frequent.
    
4.  d
    
    Airframe and engine overhauls. As a result of overhaul requirements established by the Federal Aviation Administration, aircraft airframes and engines must be overhauled within specific intervals. The value and usefulness of an aircraft can be heavily dependent on its stage of overhaul. For accounting purposes, airframe and aircraft engine overhauls encompass all inspections or replacements of major components, which the civil air regulations require at specific maximum periodic intervals to recertify that the frame or engine is completely airworthy.

Airlines frequently negotiate purchase incentives with aircraft manufacturers whereby, as an inducement to purchase a particular manufacturer's aircraft, the manufacturer will issue credits, which can be used for the purchase of [spare parts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#spare-parts "Parts, appurtenances, and accessories of aircraft (other than aircraft engines and propellers), of aircraft engines (other than propellers), of propellers, or of appliances that are maintained for installation or use in an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance but that are not yet installed or attached.") but may not be applied as part of the purchase price of aircraft. Examples of other incentives are guaranteed trade-in values and purchase credits for flight crew training equipment (for example, flight simulators).

The built-in overhaul method is based on segregation of the aggregate aircraft costs into those components that shall be depreciated over the useful life of the aircraft and those that require overhaul at periodic intervals. Thus, the estimated cost of the overhaul component included in the purchase price shall be set up separately from the cost of the [airframe](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#airframe "The structure of an aircraft, excluding engines and accessories.

A depreciation method may be applied to a single asset (unit depreciation) or to a group or pool of assets that are similar in nature (group depreciation). An [air carrier](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#air-carrier "Any entity that undertakes, whether directly or indirectly or by a lease or any other arrangement, to engage in air transportation.") can use unit or group depreciation methods on different groups of assets. The ease of application is the basis of selection between the two methods.

1.  a
    
    Unit method. Under the unit method, the airline depreciates the cost of the individual items of property and equipment. Unit depreciation is generally used for fixed assets, such as aircraft and engines, that have large unit costs and are comparatively few in number.
    
2.  b
    
    Group method. Under the group method, the airline depreciates the aggregate cost of a group of equipment that is fairly homogeneous, despite differences in the service lives of individual items. Group depreciation usually is applied to groups of assets that are significant in number but have relatively small unit values, such as [rotable parts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#rotable-parts "Rotable parts are normally repaired and reused, as opposed to those parts that are consumed in the operations (expendable parts).") and assemblies.

This guidance addresses the following methods of accounting for overhaul expenses:

1.  a
    
    Built-in overhaul method
    
2.  b
    
    Deferral method.
    

The direct expensing method is addressed in Subtopic 908-720 (see paragraph [908-720-25-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/720/908/#720-908-25-3)).

The cost of the replaced asset net of accumulated depreciation and anticipated recovery value shall be charged to income in the current period. However, detailed records may often be inadequate to permit identification of the cost of the replaced asset; therefore, estimates may be required.
