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.
