Keep the weather off your aircraft and rent a hangar

New Jersey’s weather seems to becoming more severe, with snowy winters, heavy rains and thunderstorms along with hot, sunny summers – and that’s without mentioning the superstorms during hurricane season. For aircraft owners, this climate carries a wide range of risks when storing your airplane or jet outside. Repeated exposure to the elements accelerates wear-and-tear, stresses aircraft structures and increases the risk of damage from debris, heavy snows, other aircraft and vehicles.

The answer is simple – invest in aircraft hangar space. Unfortunately, putting this into practice is much more difficult. With hangar space in the region at a premium and availability very low, it’s common to see $30 million private aircrafts tied down at airports, fully exposed to everything the weather can throw at them.

Fortunately, there is a solution. Monmouth Executive Airport in New Jersey, provides exceptional services for private pilots and charter operators is a priority. We have hangar space available right now, including:

• Custom built hangars
• T-hangars
• Common use hangars
• Larger hangars with attached office space

All of our hangars are priced competitively in order to make them as or more affordable than other regional jet centers.

We are currently involved in an ambitious expansion plan designed to bring pilots, crews and clients the best possible airport services and facilities. In addition to our newly built hangars, we offer:

• Limousine and taxi services
• Helicopter facilities
• Onsite aircraft maintenance and repair services
• Competitively priced AVGas and Jet-A fuel, with incentive programs
• Catering services
• De-icing services
• LED-based airport lighting and rotating beacon on 24 hours a day

Experience quiet airspace close to New York City at Monmouth Jet Center

Honda Jet and CPI Take To The Sky.

As if Honda of Japan didn’t have its fingers in enough pies, it seems that it is finally poised to take on the aviation industry. Long a dream of founder Soichiro Honda, Honda Jet's development began several years before his death in 1991 and has only just now received FAA final approval for production of its first business jet, the Honda HA-420. The plane was entirely designed and built in its US based facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is expected to enjoy robust sales in the North American market.

Despite a soft post 2008 market for business jets, and numerous delays in production since an initial target in 2007, Honda has finally delivered a unique market proposition that targets a high end customer with luxury and style, but at an entry level price for similar offerings. For a mere $4.5 million, you can have one of the most unique, stylized personal business jets ever built, able to fly almost 500 mph and seat 7.  Honda claims its plane is lighter, faster and more fuel-efficient than competitors that include brand names like Cessna and Embraer of Brazil.

The Honda HA-420 is a work of art inside and out. Designed and evangelized by Honda engineer Michimasa Fujino (now Honda Aircraft Co.'s CEO), the jet offers unique style and innovation. The two GE engines made specially for the jet each offer 2000 lbs of thrust and are positioned above the wings instead of below them. The porpoise-like nose design is said to have been inspired by a Salvadore Ferragamo high-heel shoe. The high tech plane is expected to appeal to the entrepreneur who sees the jet as an expression of innovation, accomplishment, and unique personal style.

CPI Thermal Switch Solution - The M2 Plugstat

CPI's M2146 Thermal Switch. Version on left with MIL STD connector.

Another inspired decision by Honda Aircraft team was the decision to use CPI’s M2 thermal switch to help control critical hydraulic fluid distribution systems. While the actual design of the Honda jet hydraulic systems are proprietary, hydraulic fluid typically resides in a reservoir and is routed to various systems that power everything from wing surfaces to brakes. The M2146 was created from our Plugstat line of glass-sealed thermal switches, designed for slow make and break applications from 0 to 650 F with very close tolerance temperature sensing. In Aircraft hydraulic systems this switch can be used to reliably operate temperature driven flow valves on various hydraulic reservoirs once a temperature limit is exceeded.

The M2146 used on the Honda jet is almost a completely standard part, modified only to provide a mil-spec connector interface. In general all CPI thermal switches can be engineered cost effectively to provide custom connectivity and electrical interfaces.

We heard that the first customer order was delivered by Honda only days before Christmas. The fellow had ordered it almost a decade ago. Well I guess anything that special is worth waiting for.

Happy Holidays from everyone at CPI to you and yours.

How to safely store your personal jet or airplane

Properly storing your aircraft is part of being a responsible owner – and this means evaluating your options to find out what works best for you. Monmouth Executive Airport takes a look at the pros and cons of different storage options.

Tie-down or hangar? 

The most common tie-down is a three-point tie-down that involves securely fastening your aircraft at each of the wings and the tail to attachments placed in a dedicated aircraft parking lot. This option is the most affordable option in terms of upfront costs and it is effective at ensuring that your airplane won’t tip in strong winds. However, your aircraft will be at the mercy of the elements, including sun, snow and winds, which can lead to significant increases in maintenance costs that can quickly outweigh the apparent affordability of this option.

Hangar space for rental or purchase is the more expensive option, but it does keep your aircraft safely out of the elements. Generally speaking, there are two main types of hangars – T-hangars and shared hangars. Shared hangars are communal and therefore more affordable, but airplanes can suffer from bumps and minor accidents caused by other airplanes moving in and out of the space if not managed properly. T-hangars are t-shaped with a narrow back end to fit the tail and a wider front to fit the wings. These are not shared hangars and allow aircraft owners the luxury of having their own space in which to store their aircraft, work on it and even have their own office space.

Hangar space available now at Monmouth Executive Airport 

If hangar space is the right storage option for you, Monmouth Jet Center can assist you. With aircraft hangar space available immediately as well as competitively priced leasing and custom construction deals, your airplane or private jet will soon be housed safely and protected from the elements.

In addition to our aircraft storage solutions, we offer you access to affordably priced aviation fuel (including AVGas and Jet-A), high-end amenities, 24-hour operations, onsite aircraft mechanic and maintenance crews, and the longest private runway in the country at 7300 feet. Just over an hour’s drive from Manhattan and located outside of high-traffic Class B airspace, we offer you a world-class airport and flying experience.

Don’t let bad weather add to your travel frustrations

With winter comes rain, snow, sleet… and travel nightmares. With frustration over delayed and cancelled flights increasing over this season, it’s no surprise that business and leisure travellers are turning to private aircraft companies to help them get to where they need to be. But how do private airports like Monmouth Jet Center manage to offer a solution when large national and international airports and carriers can’t?

• More airport options: There are far more private airports than commercial options, as they don’t require the same infrastructure and support. This means that private airplane companies can be more flexible with their flight plans, flying around bad weather and avoiding areas where the weather has made the airport inaccessible.
• Quick turnaround times: Commercial airliners can easily get grounded by bad weather, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded for days or even weeks. Smaller private jets have a much faster turnaround time, allowing them to start using runways safely as soon as the weather allows. This makes all the difference when you need to get the first available flight out to your destination.
• Manageable infrastructure: Private aircraft are able to use much smaller runways than their commercial counterparts. These runways can be cleared quickly in the event of a window in the weather, allowing you to get up in the air as soon as possible.
• Reduced traffic: Flight backlogs can leave you stranded even after the weather has cleared – but not at private airports where there is less traffic and a fast turnaround time on private flights.
• De-icing services: The cost of de-icing a private jet – as well as any delays – is carried by the charter company, ensuring that your ticket stays on budget regardless of the weather.

Exceptional private facilities at Monmouth Executive Airport
