AVOID TSA HASSLES AND FLY FROM MONMOUTH JETPORT IN NJ

While travelling is usually an interesting and enjoyable experience, flying commercially almost certainly isn’t. Even with access to business and first class options, there’s still the inconvenience and struggle of getting though traffic, hauling baggage around a vast airport and, the worst part of all, dealing with the endless TSA (Transport Security Administration) hassles. Fortunately, Monmouth Executive Airport has the solution.
Since 9/11, TSA rules and regulations have become stricter, more comprehensive and more confounding than ever before. These measures include gathering your personal information (full name, date of birth and gender) to cross-check against watch lists, more thorough pat-downs, having to remove belts as well as shoes, and more restricted liquids and volumes of liquids in both stowed and carryon baggage. The result? Longer queues, more stress, difficulty managing your personal property through the search process, flight delays and the inconvenience of having your personal items thoroughly searched, rifled through and occasionally confiscated.
With so much inconvenience to so many people, it’s no surprise that there are thousands of pages of tips and advice for making commercial air travel easier – from getting to the airport even earlier to prepacking all your toiletries in the approved, individual transparent bottles and bags. But we have a better solution – private air travel.
Unlike commercial air travel, private airports and charter companies aren’t required to meet the same, strict TSA regulations. Private Airports instead focus on high standards of customer service for charter companies and their passengers, including comfortable waiting areas, FBO services and concierge services.
Your bags will be loaded onto the aircraft for you (so you can be sure they end up securely at the correct destination), and there are no full body scans, x-rays, security lines or having to remove any items of clothing or jewelry. Your pilot and staff will be there waiting to greet you, check identification and escort you to your aircraft. If you’re late, your plane waits for you. There are also no rushes through customs or other airports for connecting flights – your aircraft is yours for the duration of your trip. The only people on board other than the crew are you and your guests and, with prior arrangement, you can also bring your pets with you in the cabin. It’s convenient, comfortable and enjoyable – just how air travel should be.
World-class private facilities at Monmouth Executive Airport in New Jersey 
If you are considering flying out of New Jersey,Monmouth Executive Airport – just 20 minutes to Manhattan by helicopter – offers everything business and private travelers require. For private pilots, we offer high quality, competitively priced fuel rates, aircraft maintenance services and hangar space in New Jersey – available immediately.

THE 5 MOST CHALLENGING RUNWAYS IN THE WORLD

ravelling by air is one of the most exciting and enjoyable ways to discover new and interesting places – and this often means that pilots can encounter some exceptionally challenging take offs and landings on your trip! Here are the five most challenging runways in the world, from Monmouth Executive Airport.
  1. Saba Airport: Located on Saba Island in the Caribbean, this airport is famous for having the world’s shortest commercial runway. Just 1,300 feet long, this runway is edged by cliffs on its extreme ends, and flanked by volcanic mountainside slopes on one length and the sea on the other.
  2. Toncontin Airport: This Honduras airport is extreme in many ways. Not only is it located in a windy valley 3,294 feet above sea level, it’s also surrounded by steep mountains. This means that aircraft have to achieve a stomach-clenching 45-degree bank during decent in order to reach the runway properly.
  3. MCAS Futenma: Located in Okinawa, Japan, this airport is utilized by the Navy and Marine Corps, some of whom have named it the most dangerous air station in the world. This is because instead of being located within a clear zone of open space, it is surrounded almost up to the runway by the homes, schools, businesses and hospitals of the area, as well as over 3,000 people.
  4. McMurdo Station: This runway in Antarctica is long, smooth… and completely made of ice. With weather conditions that can change quickly and severely, months of below-freezing temperatures and almost no support services (you have to land using night vision goggles during dark seasons), this is one of the most challenging runways for any pilot.
  5. Princess Juliana International Airport: Located on the island of St. Maarten in the popular Caribbean Islands, this runway is both hair-raising and busy. Pilots have to fly in incredibly low over a strip of beach, clearing a fence and landing on the fairly short 7,150-foot strip of tarmac. Although built for smaller aircraft, A340s and 747s do land here, making for a spectacular sight.
Land in comfort at Monmouth Executive Airport in NJ 
At Monmouth Executive Airport, we’ve made service our differentiator. From a wide range of world-class FBO services and aircraft maintenance services to custom airplane hangar space and more, we set ourselves apart from the hassle and crowds of our competitors. In addition to offering the largest private runway in the country at over 7,300 feet, we also offer a secondary runway at 3512’ x 53’, ideal for most private jets, helicopters and piston aircraft – so you can always land in comfort.

INTERESTING FACTS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT PRIVATE JETS

Private jets are part of a very interesting industry. Here are some surprising facts about this luxurious mode of travel, from Monmouth Executive Airport in New Jersey.
  1. The USA is the private jet capital of the world: Recent statistics show that the US makes up around 49.7% of all private jet flights in the whole world, with Europe and Asia Pacific following up with 20.6% and 11.6% respectively.
  2. Cessna has the most popular private jet: The iconic Cessna Citation Excel, also known as the Citation XLS and XLS+, is the most popular private jet in the USA. Not only is it a striking and elegant piece of engineering, it also has great range at around 2,100nm, can take 9 passengers in luxurious comfort and has a load capacity of over 7,000lbs.
  3. Private jets love the Superbowl: Of all big events, including the Kentucky Derby and the Monaco Grand Prix, the Superbowl is the most travelled-to event for private jets – in the entire world. Even more impressive is that around 50% of this private jet traffic comes from international travelers who want to experience the legendary event and the famous half-time show.
  4. Celebs love to be pilots as well as passengers: For many A-listers, travelling in a private jet is the only way to go. For a few, however, the thrill is in piloting their own aircraft. This list of celebrities includes John Travolta, who has an astounding 11 jets, as well as Tom Cruise, in his Gulfstream IV.
  5. The world’s most expensive private jet costs over $500 million: Owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, this jet is a modified Airbus A380. It features a two-car garage and a stable as well as many other high-end luxury fittings.
  6. Private jets have access to more airports: While commercial airliners can take you to any of the 500 commercial airports across the USA, private jets can take off and land from over 5,000 airports – including all the large commercial ones. This means greater flight flexibility, easier flights past inclement weather and easier access to more cities and towns for passengers.

HOW PRIVATE AIRPORTS MEASURE UP TO THE COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE

For pilots and travelers flying private jets, there are two options available for your flight – either using a commercial airport or flying to or from a private airport like Monmouth Executive Airport. Here are some of the pros and cons of each.
Pros of landing at a large commercial airport 
  • City location: Generally, commercial airports are located closer to large urban areas, making access to the city easier for business and leisure travelers.
  • Car rental options: Large airports have the space to house all the top car rental companies and their rental stock, giving you more options of vehicle sizes, brands and types if you are looking to hire.
  • Other services: Duty-free shopping areas, service providers, a wide range of restaurants and chain retailers as well as a selection of waiting areas are all staples of large commercial airports.
Cons of landing at a large commercial airport 
  • Landing priority: Preference will be given to large carriers over private jets when landing at commercial airports, which often means delays or more inflexible schedules for private aircraft.
  • Weather: Commercial airports often have stricter regulations around taking off and landing in inclement weather, and may implement blanket flow procedures and ground holds regardless of whether your private aircraft would be affected.
  • Fees: Handling and landing fees are common at major airports and fuel charges are often more expensive as well, which will affect the cost of your flight.
  • Traffic: Air traffic is understandably high at commercial airports and in peak travel times this can cause significant take-off and landing delays. Due to the amount of travelers and cargo they handle, the motorways around commercial airports also often suffer from large volumes of traffic and delays.

How to prepare for flight training school in NJ

Planning ahead is an important part of any successful pilot’s career, so preparing for flight school is the perfect start. It will give you the edge you need to become a better pilot and give you the confidence that comes from knowing just what you are in for when you learn to fly. Here are three ways to prepare for this new career from one of NJ’s top flight schools at Monmouth Executive Airport:
  1. Flight simulators: This state-of-the-art technology is getting more realistic than ever before, making it the ideal way to get used to using the main aircraft controls, including the yoke, rudder and pedals. You can also try out different aircraft and basic maneuvers like climbing, descending and level flight. It very accessible too, as there are a wide range of flight simulator software programs that you can download straight to your home PC, including Prepar3D and X-Plane.
  2. Get to know the jargon: Flying, whether a career or a hobby, means learning to understand a huge range of jargon. English is also the international medium for pilots, so it’s important that your language skills are up to the task. Talking with pilots and flight instructors, listening in on live air traffic control online and researching flight terminology will help you get an edge.
  3. Research online: The Internet isn’t just a great source of jargon – it’s the perfect place to really see what flight school and flying is all about. YouTube has plenty of videos that showcase all kinds of aspects of flight school, from the basics right up to the more technical aspects like navigation and aircraft mechanics. You can look up information on the aircraft you will be flying, the kinds of things you’re expected to learn and get a bird’s eye view of the whole experience.

How to maintain your aircraft hangar

Buying or renting an aircraft hangar is a big investment and, in order to reap the full benefits of a space like this for repairs, maintenance and storage, it needs to be cleaned and maintained to a high standard. Here are some tips from the specialists at Monmouth Executive Airport.
  • Keep the floors clear: Aircraft maintenance means electrical cords, tools, hoses, rollaway boxes and more all over your hangar floor. This presents a serious tripping hazard where someone can easily get injured, knock over toolboxes and even accidentally damage the aircraft. Use overhead retractable reels if possible and keep any other cords taped down securely.Make sure that pathways are kept clear around the hangar for easy, safe movement.
  • Fire safety is paramount: Areas around electrical work should be kept clean and clear at all times, and all flammable substances and debris must be kept clear of the hangar. Also, be sure to regularly check your electrical equipment for any wear and tear that may compromise its safe use.
  • FOD awareness: Foreign Object Damage is a leading cause of aircraft damage and can compromise personal safety as well as cost you a lot of money to repair. Try to keep ramp and operation areas clean, follow an FAA tool control program and provide designated storage and containers for used hardware, parts, and refuse.
  • Check your hangar doors: Your hangar doors need to be able to open and close smoothly as well as securely hold the hangar closed in rough weather, so maintaining your doors is vital. Rust, electric malfunctions and mechanical problems can plague hangar doors, causing them to stick and becoming a safety hazard for anyone around them, so contact a professional maintenance and repair service as soon as you become aware of any issues.

4 reasons why hangars are better than tie-downs

When you own an aircraft, there’s one question that stands out above the rest: “What is the best way to store it?” These airplanes and jets are expensive investments and keeping them in good condition means storing them safely and securely – and that means choosing a hangar over a tie-down, says Monmouth Executive Airport, NJ. Here’s why:
  1. Hangars keep your aircraft out of the elements: One of the most costly aspects of owning an aircraft is the constant maintenance and repairs they require to keep them safely in the air. Having your aircraft tied down means that it is exposed to a constant barrage of the elements – burning sunshine, snow, hail and rain – that causes maintenance costs to substantially increase.
  2. Make repairs and maintenance easier: It’s a lot easier to work on your aircraft when it’s in a hangar alongside your tools and equipment and out of the weather. You can take as long as you need to perform your repairs without worrying about tidying up your site or that storm rolling in on the horizon.
  3. Get a break on your insurance: Keeping an aircraft in a hangar is much the same as keeping your car in a garage and, similarly, insurance companies are happy to give you a discount for storing your aircraft in a hangar rather than outdoors.
  4. It’s not always the expensive option you think it is: For obvious reasons, hangars are more expensive than tie-downs – however, that isn’t the end of the story. When you calculate in your reduced insurance costs, and reduced maintenance and repair costs, the increased price is well worth it. And, while you can opt for a private hangar with your own office space, there are more affordable communal hangars and competitive leasing options available.

Safety first: Features at private airports

s transport hubs, both commercial and private airports are responsible for providing measures that allow airplanes, crews and clients to utilize their facilities safely within reason. While the requirements for safety and security measures differ between the two types of airport, private airports like Monmouth Executive Airport strive to ensure high levels of safety and security without compromising service and efficiency. Here’s how:

Safety features for passengers

Baggage, documents and persons can be scanned quickly before takeoff, making it a quick, easy and convenient process. This allows them to deliver the highest quality of service without causing any delays or requiring passengers to arrive hours before their flight.
In addition, only the highest quality FBO services are available at the airport itself. From reliable concierge services and limousine services to secure executive airport parking and transfers, you can expect only the best in service and security for yourself and your belongings.

Safety features for aircraft 

These essential services are covered by the airport in order to ensure the smooth and safe operation of aircraft while on their grounds, and include:
  • Regular cleaning of the runways to remove debris that can damage aircraft and be sucked into aircraft engines
  • All maintenance of runways and grounds to ensure the quality of their condition
  • 24-hour de-icing services
  • 24-hour fuel availability
  • On-field aircraft maintenance services

The USA - Business aviation capital of the world

With reports showing that around 60% of all private jet traffic departing and arriving is in the USA, it’s no surprise that we are positioned as the top business aviation location on the globe. With exciting growth in the private flight and manufacturing industry, our team at Monmouth Executive Airport is confident that we’ll stay at the top. Here’s why:
• We’re where the industry started: With the maiden flight of the Lear Jet 23 in 1963, the USA launched the era of private business aviation. Not only did this launch the iconic aircraft brand, it kept the USA at the top of this industry for over 50 years.
• We’re heading the private jet manufacturing industry: Although there are big private jet manufacturing companies in Canada, Brazil and France, the USA is still home to some of the biggest names on the market. These include Cessna, Gulfstream Aerospace, Airbus, Beechcraft, Boeing and Lear (recently acquired by Bombardier).
• We’re the top destination for business aviation: Los Angeles’ Van Nuys and New York’s Teterboro Airports are the busiest in the world for private business travellers, whether they are traveling across the country or across the world. In 2012 alone, Van Nuys managed over 259,000 private takeoffs and landings – a number that has only increased since then.
• We account for the most private jet purchases: In the USA, we aren’t just making the most private aircraft, we’re buying them too. With over half the world’s private jet buyers right here, the GAMA places the USA as accounting for 49.7% market share of new aircraft in 2012 alone – out-purchasing second place by almost 20%. In total, the 2014 General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) publication states that 199,000 private business jets are currently based in the USA logging approximately 15 million flight hours to over 5,000 airports.
• We’re dedicated to FBO: In the USA, Fixed Base Operators (that is, private jet terminals) are a booming business. With access to over 5,000 airports, charter companies and private jets are able to operate with maximum flexibility and convenience – moving around poor weather conditions and delivering their clients through a more direct and traffic-free route. These FBOs vary from airport to airport, offering everything from basic services to luxury, VIP experiences and facilities.
• We’re a strong part of the economy: Using private jets for business isn’t just in your company’s best interests – it’s in the economy’s too. From charter companies and FBOs to crew, aircraft manufacturers and mechanics, the private business aviation sector contributes significantly towards the 219 billion dollar contribution of general aviation to the economy and 1.1 million jobs the industry supports.
