LEARNING TO FLY IN YOUR GOLDEN YEARS


Are you a senior who’s interested in learning to fly? If you’re retired and enjoying your golden years then you have the time and the freedom to pursue new hobbies and interests. Learning new things is a great way to stay active, engage your curiosity, and potentially discover a new passion! 

People of all ages dream of learning to fly, and you’ll be pleased to know there is no age limit for taking flying lessons. At Monmouth Jet Center, we have students of all ages, and our students who learn to fly later in life find it incredibly rewarding. If you’re approaching your retirement and have always been curious about taking flying lessons, contact us today to get started! 

Why learn to fly as a senior citizen?

    • You have more free time. When you’re younger most of your time is taken up by school and work, leaving you little to no time to explore new hobbies and interests. One of the many benefits of retirement is that you have more free time, and your golden years are ideal for setting off on new adventures like flying lessons.
    • Learning new things helps your mind stay young. While it doesn’t stop the clock, taking flying lessons is a great way to engage your brain in a new activity. Just as you need to exercise your body to keep it in good shape, the same is true of your brain. Learning something new like flying is a great way to stimulate your mind and strengthen cognitive function. 
    • You have more disposable income. You’ve spent decades working hard, you’ve saved up some money, and your kids are grown and out of the house. Now it’s time to spend your money on yourself and try the things you’ve always wanted to do!
    • Monmouth Flight School has been successfully teaching people how to fly since 1993! Because Monmouth Airport sits just outside of crowded New York area airspace designations, it is one of the most relaxed and safe environments you will find in the Tri-state area to pursue your dream of learning to fly. We’ve taught every conceivable type, size, and age of person to fly over the last 20 years, and you better believe we can teach you too!

If you’d like to know more about how seniors can learn to fly at Monmouth Jet Center, or if you have any questions about our executive airport in New Jersey, please contact our team today. You’re never too old to spread your wings and fly with us.

JET SERVICE AND HANGAR SPACE – RENT OR BUILD?




If you’re in the market for aircraft hangar space then you have several options: renting, buying, or building. Your aircraft is a big investment and having a safe place to store it is essential. In this article, our NJ team at Monmouth Jet Center explores the various options available to you when it comes to acquiring hangar space. 

Investor owned or leased?

If you want to invest in your own aircraft hangar, you always have the option to lease it when you’re not using it. Many investors negotiate ground leases with local aircraft owners who need hangar space. And at smaller airports like Monmouth Jet Center, you’ll never have to put your name on a waiting list or wonder if there will be space for your aircraft. 

Advantages of owning a hangar

When you own a private hangar you can customize it to your exact specifications. You’ll never need to negotiate any hangar leases or worry about finding hangar space to rent, and you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your aircraft is completely secure. Another advantage of owning a hangar is you always have the option to rent it out in the future, earning you extra income. 

The cost of building your own facility

Costs vary depending on your needs, but as a general rule, you can expect to spend $22 per square foot when building a custom aircraft hangar. It’s important to understand that when you build your own facility, you will technically own the hangar, but you’ll still be leasing the ground it’s built on. You’ll also be responsible for insurance costs, maintenance costs, repairs, and any upgrades you decide on. 

The benefits of leasing space

Leasing can be a convenient option if you aren’t ready for the responsibility of owning your own hangar. Each airport has its own terms and conditions with ground leases, and at Monmouth we do our best to accommodate your needs and your schedule. 

If you’d like to know more about renting or building custom hangar space, or if you have any questions about our airport, please contact our team at Monmouth Jet Center today. We look forward to hearing from you.

WORLD-CLASS JET SERVICES OFFERED TO OPERATORS


At Monmouth Executive Airport, we’re proud to offer world-class jet services to our clients. Flying doesn’t need to be stressful, and we offer operators everything from basic fuel to full concierge service. Conveniently located near New York City and many other popular destinations, Monmouth Jet Center welcomes charter jets, private aircraft, and aircraft operators to use our airport and experience the difference. The level of service you’ll receive with us is unparalleled! 

Monmouth offers fast fuel

When charter jets land at a destination, they often need to re-fuel quickly and take off for their next trip. At Monmouth Jet Center, we offer fast refuelling so you can be on your way to your next destination. When you refuel at larger commercial airports you often have to wait in a line, but you won’t need to wait at Monmouth.

Convenience even on short notice

Need an aircraft hangar on short notice? That’s no problem! Many jet operators prefer to use smaller regional airports like Monmouth Jet Center because they’re conveniently located and have available hangar space.

Aircraft de-iced with environmentally-safe fluids

Now that we’re in the winter months, de-icing your aircraft is essential. Unfortunately many de-icing fluids contain harsh chemicals that are damaging to the environment, but at Monmouth Jet Center we only use environmentally-safe de-icing fluid.

Full customs and security clearance facilities

Safety and security is of the utmost importance to us, and we offer full customs and security clearance facilities without the long wait times you’ll encounter at large international airports. You’ll be cleared through security and boarding your flight in no time. 

Ground transportation services

We have on-site rental car services and can arrange a taxi or limousine for you. Monmouth Jet Center is conveniently located near NYC, Philadelphia, and the Jersey Shore, so you can de-plane and be on your way to your destination quickly with your vehicle of choice. 

Aircraft cleaning

Our aircraft maintenance team offers cleaning and repair services to keep your aircraft in top working condition at all times. Keeping planes and jets clean and well maintained is important for safety and for the life of the aircraft. 

In-Flight Catering

Part of traveling on a private jet charter is enjoying the many amenities that come with it, including in-flight catering services. Whether you just need snacks and coffees for a shorter flight, or a full meal service for longer trips, we’ve got you covered with many delicious food and drink options. 

Terminal services

We want you to be as comfortable as possible while waiting in the terminal, which is why we provide WiFi, drinks, snacks, restroom facilities, and a lounge area for your leisure.

TRAVELING LATER IN LIFE


Do you love to travel? Are you nearing your retirement years? Exciting getaways aren’t only for younger people – traveling later in life can be hugely rewarding, and whether you’ve already been bitten by the travel bug or you’re still thinking about your ideal destination, there are many benefits of seeing the world during your golden years. 

Here are our top five reasons to look forward to traveling later in life:

  1. Traveling keeps you active. When you retire you no longer have the hustle and bustle of your daily routine, so you may find yourself much more sedentary than before. Staying physically and mentally active is incredibly important, especially as we age, and travel is a great way to keep your mind and your body active. 
  2. You have more disposable income. Traveling on a shoe-string budget might be fun when you’re 20, but let’s face it, it’s nice to be comfortable! After working and saving for decades you’re finally in a position to indulge in a luxury hotel, or a faraway destination. 
  3. Overcome your fears and get out of your comfort zone. No one wants to look back and say “I wish I would have…” so now is your chance! Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, or perhaps you want to try ziplining in Costa Rica. Whatever it is, you won’t regret it.
  4. Traveling together strengthens relationships. Whether it’s a friend, a spouse, or a child, grab a travel buddy and book your trip. Exploring the world together will deepen your bond and give you memories to cherish forever. 
  5. Traveling makes you more confident. And a little extra confidence is something we could all use! Once you’ve conquered an international trip, you’ll understand that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Enjoy your travels with Monmouth Jet Center

Whether you’re setting off on an international adventure or enjoying a quick weekend getaway, Monmouth Jet Center will happily welcome you. When you use Monmouth Airport you’ll avoid crowded terminals and long security lines, and we know you’ll enjoy our comfortable passenger lounges full of amenities. 

For more information about using Monmouth Jet Center, or if you have any questions, please contact our team today or visit our website at: https://monmouthjetcenter.com/

FLIGHT TRAINING FOR KIDS: YOUNG AVIATORS CLUB



Everybody has thought about flying at one point or another. Especially kids who have developed a fascination with toy planes from an early age. Have your children expressed interest in becoming a pilot? At Monmouth Executive Airport, we have flight training for kids through our Young Aviators Club; it’s a great way for children to explore a new interest, gain invaluable skills, and potentially find a future career path! 

We’re passionate about flying and we love sharing that passion with our local community.  With the help of our top-rated flight school instructors, we created the Young Aviators Club to offer a free flying lesson to all children ages 8 – 17, followed by additional lessons and educational courses if your kids are interested. If this sounds like something your kids would enjoy then please get in touch or keep reading to learn more about the Young Aviators Club in NJ. 

History of the Young Aviators Club

Several years ago we formed a partnership with the Wall Township community in New Jersey, which is located just minutes away from Monmouth Executive Airport. In order to share our passion for flying, we offer one free flying lesson for all local kids between ages 8 and 17, accompanied and supervised by a fully-licensed flight instructor. 

A great alternative to traditional summer camp, our flight school gives children a chance to try something new and exciting. Young flyers can fulfill their dreams of soaring through the sky, and we also offer full scholarships to select children in order to complete their VFR rating. 

What to expect at The Young Aviators Club?

The first lesson starts outside the aircraft and takes place entirely on the ground. We walk our young flyers around the outside of the aircraft, teaching them the components and their functions during flight. We then tour the inside of the aircraft to do the same.

Once all safety procedures have been carried out, it’s time to take to the skies! Our fully-licensed flight instructors will guide our young learners up into the air, helping them pilot their very first flight. It’s a thrill they will never forget. 

For more information about the Young Aviators Club at Monmouth Airport, or if you have any questions, please contact our team today. Discover why so many families enroll their children in flight training for kids – we know they’ll have a blast! We look forward to hearing from you.

CAPACITY AND DELAYS AT NEW YORK AIRPORTS: THE ROLE OF MONMOUTH


Anyone who has traveled through New York airports has probably experienced capacity issues and delays. Large commercial airports, especially in New York, are notorious for overbooked flights, delays taking off due to lack of runway space, and other congestion issues that disrupt your travel plans and cause major frustrations. 

Many people have discovered the perks of using smaller airports like Monmouth Executive Airport. Located nearby in New Jersey, Monmouth Airport offers a convenient alternative to crowded, hectic New York airports like JFK and LGA, and it’s a short Uber ride away from New York City and surrounding areas. 

Capacity and delays at JFK and LGA

JFK and LGA are two of the busiest airports in the country and consistently rank among the airports with the highest numbers of delays. With domestic and international flights landing around the clock, chances are if you’ve ever flown to or from JFK or LGA, you’ve encountered delays. Larger passenger flights generally take priority over smaller, private planes or hired aircraft. So if you’re looking for alternatives, why not try a general aviation reliever airport like Monmouth?

Role of Monmouth as general aviation reliever airport

A general aviation reliever airport is designed to relieve congestion from major New York airports, which as already mentioned, are the busiest in the country. Monmouth is located nearby in New Jersey and can accommodate larger commercial aircraft as well as smaller personal aircraft, and flight traffic averages around 150 flights per day. We are 5 minutes from the Garden State Parkway (Exit 98), less than 10 minutes from popular Jersey Shore Points and approximately an hour drive from NY, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City. Not to mention, our helicopter service to NYC will get you there in 20 minutes.

With an Ideal airport location, full aviation services, and first-class amenities – there’s no better alternative.

Capacity at Monmouth Airport NJ

Spread out over 850 acres and with two full-size runways, Monmouth Executive Airport has on-site hangars and maintenance teams who service aircraft and ensure they’re ready to fly. So whether you’re flying in a private jet or a smaller personal aircraft, avoid the major NYC airports with flight delays and other headaches, and opt instead for a much more convenient option at Monmouth. 

For more information about using Monmouth Executive Airport, or if you have any questions, please contact our team today. Discover why so many people choose us to avoid capacity issues and delays in New York. We look forward to hearing from you.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRLINE PILOT CERTIFICATIONS?



Are you considering getting your pilot certification? Many people dream of learning to fly. Whether you’re interested in having a career as a commercial pilot, or perhaps you want to take up flying as a part-time hobby, there are six different types of pilot certifications you can obtain in the U.S. In this article, the team at Monmouth Executive Airport will go over what to expect with each U.S. pilot certification.

Commercial pilot

Becoming a certified commercial pilot allows you to have a career as a pilot for commercial airlines. Scheduled commercial flights are subject to separate federal regulations, so when you’re a commercial pilot you must abide by these aviation regulations. When training to become a commercial pilot, there’s more focus on precision and technical knowledge about flight operations.

Private pilot

This is the most common type of pilot certification. Training for this certification is more intensive than other types of pilot certifications because private pilots have fewer restrictions, including being able to fly at night. 

Being a private pilot isn’t a viable career path though, because private pilots are not allowed to be compensated for their services. Many people who obtain a private pilot license do so in order to fly their own personal aircraft, and they must learn multiple maneuvers while logging a minimum of 40 hours of flight time.

Sport pilot

If you want to fly a small aircraft in your local area at low altitudes only, sport pilot certification may be for you. It’s the easiest pilot certification to obtain, but it does come with restrictions: you can only have one passenger, you cannot fly at night, and you cannot fly above 10,000 feet.

Recreational pilot

A step up from a sport pilot, recreational pilot certification allows you to fly heavier aircrafts without needing the advanced training of a commercial pilot. With this certification, you can fly a maximum of 50 nautical miles from your point of departure and you can only fly during the daytime.

Flight instructor

Becoming a certified flight instructor is another career option, and many people obtain this certification while studying for additional pilot certifications. It’s a great way to gain experience while learning about various flight topics in greater depth.

Airline Transport Pilot

This is the most advanced certification and is required for anyone who wants to be a commercial pilot. The most basic requirements include: being at least 23 years old, and having a minimum of 1,500 flying hours logged.

Learn to fly in NJ at Monmouth Airport

Whether you’re just exploring your interest in being a pilot or you’re interested in obtaining additional certifications, our NJ flight school is ready to help you achieve the next steps in your journey. We’ve taught thousands of people to fly and our flight instructors are among the best in the industry.

BREAKDOWN OF HANGAR AND PROPERTY INSURANCE


If you have your own personal aircraft, or if you own an aircraft hangar, you’ll need to invest in insurance – the same as you would for a car. Personal planes and aircraft hangars are very valuable assets and you want to protect them and keep them in top condition at all times. Having good hangar insurance is one way you can do that. Our team at Monmouth Executive Airport is happy to explain the importance of hangar insurance and property insurance within this article. Here are some of the basics:

  • Each aircraft owner and each hangar owner has specific needs, and insurance helps them meet their specific needs. This includes aspects like fueling, de-icing, parking, storage, maintenance, and other services provided in hangars. 
  • For airports like Monmouth, hangar and property insurance is essential when renting out hangars to third parties. Insurance acts as coverage for another person’s aircraft while they’re in the airport hangar, and helps protect you in case something happens.
  • You can customize your hangar insurance portfolio to include exactly what you need. Common types of insurance are: 
  • Hangar structure insurance: Hangars can easily be damaged by strong winds, heavy storms, and other weather occurrences. 
  • Business property insurance: This covers the equipment inside your hangar, like tools and any machinery. 
  • General liability insurance: This policy provides coverage if third-party injury or damage occurs while in your hangar. 
  • Auto liability insurance: This is important if you have a shuttle that drives people to and from your hangars, or two and from their aircraft upon take-off and landing. 
  • Pollution liability insurance: In the event of an accident, flammable liquids like fuel and other chemicals can leak into the surrounding ground and water. This policy covers costs associated with clean-up and any damage caused.

Invest in aircraft and hangar insurance

There are certain unavoidable liabilities you’ll encounter when you own an aircraft hanger, or when you’re working with hangars and aircrafts. Heavy machinery, combustible materials, and expensive equipment means that insurance is essential. If you’re unsure about which policies you should include in your hangar insurance portfolio, we recommend speaking with an experienced insurance company that works with hangar owners, aircraft owners, airport owners, and others in the aviation industry. 

Aircraft hangars are a big investment. Keep your property safe and mitigate any risks with property insurance, also learn more about potential liabilities that come with owning an aircraft hangar. For more information about hangar insurance and property insurance, please contact our team at Monmouth Airport today. We look forward to hearing from you.

THE MOST CONVENIENT SUMMER VACATION? FLYING TO THE JERSEY SHORE


The Jersey Shore is the perfect summer vacation destination. With the cold winter days finally behind us, we’re all eager to get some sun, feel the sand between our toes, and go for a refreshing dip in the ocean. Rather than fly commercial and deal with long security lines, and unavoidable delays, why not hire a private plane and use Monmouth Executive Airport instead? Just a short 30-minute drive from the beautiful Jersey Shore, Monmouth Airport is conveniently located near the New Jersey coastline and we’re beyond ready to welcome you for your summer getaway. 

Why use Monmouth Executive Airport?

  • It’s faster than a commercial airport. It’s no secret that summer is a popular time to travel, and anyone who’s flown through a commercial airport in the summer knows how miserable it can be.

At smaller executive airports like Monmouth, you won’t have to deal with any of these annoyances.
  • It’s convenient, especially if you live on the coast. Coastal fliers frequently use smaller, executive airports because they’re more convenient and you’re able to land much closer to your destination. Monmouth Executive Airport is only a 30-minute drive from the Jersey Shore, so you can start your summer vacation very shortly after landing!
  • We have on-site aircraft hangars and maintenance. Whether you have your own private plane or choose to hire one for your vacation, at Monmouth Airport we have available hangar space and a team of on-site aircraft mechanics who will keep your plane in top working condition.

THE UNCOMPLICATED AND COMPLICATED PARTS OF FLYING

Flying has long captured the interest of people around the world. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to fly, now is an excellent time to pursue a new hobby and maybe turn it into a future career. But do you know what learning to fly includes? Many people aren’t aware of the complicated and uncomplicated parts of flying, so in this article we’ll go through them in detail. 

The less complicated aspects of flying

  • Getting familiar with radio communications and terminology. Pilots use radios as their main form of communication and they also have their own lingo, including specialized terms and abbreviations for various things. If you’re unfamiliar with pilot lingo and you listen to pilots speaking via radio, it may sound like a different language, but you’ll quickly catch on with a little bit of practice.
  • Using the controls in the cockpit. At first glance, it looks confusing when you see all the buttons, switches, panels, and levers. However, mastering the controls will soon feel second nature after completing several flight simulations with a certified instructor. 
  • Confidence and a positive attitude. It sounds obvious, but having confidence and a positive attitude goes a long way for pilots, especially when they need to make quick decisions on their feet. 

The more complicated aspects of flying

  • Dealing with severe or unpredictable weather. From strong winds to heavy rains and whatever else mother nature throws their way, pilots are required to learn aviation meteorology. This is so they’re well-prepared to navigate as safely as possible through difficult weather conditions. 
  • Becoming accustomed to living in a three-dimensional environment. When you drive a car you look left, right, straight ahead, and behind you to check for traffic and obstacles, and to make sure your path is clear. When flying a plane you have to add two more dimensions: up and down. It definitely takes some getting used to checking all directions while flying.
  • Multitasking like a master. Many of us think we’re good at multitasking, but pilots frequently have to engage in five or six tasks at the same time – each one requiring precision. Of course, practice makes perfect, and experienced pilots are often multitasking masters. 

Start your aviation career in NJ today 

Whether you want to become an airline pilot or you’d simply like to take some recreational flying lessons, Monmouth Executive Airport’s flight school has everything you need to get started. Now that spring is here and we’re enjoying warmer weather and sunnier skies, it’s the ideal time to learn how to fly!
