Aircraft Maintenance is the Key to Safety in Aviation

Regular aircraft maintenance is one of the most important commitments that should be made by every aircraft owner and enforced by several airworthiness authorities in the USA and internationally. However, this is a part of aircraft ownership that’s not just about following the law – it also has important benefits:

• Safety – This is the most obvious reason to maintain your aircraft, as regular services and repairs will allow you to avoid accidents that can be caused by mechanical failures. This keeps you, your crew, your passengers and the people on the ground safe throughout your flight.
• Avoid lost flights – Having to cancel flights due to mechanical failures is a sure way to affect your bottom line as well as the reputation of your brand.
• Efficient performance – Aircraft operate at their best and most cost-efficient when they are properly maintained. By following manufacturer guidelines and performing operational checks, you save on fuel and other costs.
• Prevents major breakdowns – A small maintenance issue can quickly turn into a costly and potentially dangerous one if not attended to quickly. Simply leaving small issues will only result in higher costs down the line.
• Keep clients comfortable – world class jet centers such as Monmouth Jet Center offer exclusive services and need their aircraft to be maintained in order to deliver. Even small plumbing, seating or electrical problems in the cabin can make for an uncomfortable ride.

Aircraft Maintenance Services and Private Airports Work to Reduce the Risks of Foreign Object Damage

As aviation specialists know, damage caused by Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is one of the industries most costly issues, with The Boeing Company estimating annual aircraft maintenance, delays and repairs at $4 billion a year.

FOD can generally be defined as any object which does not belong to an aircraft that can cause damage to the aircraft, injury to crew and passengers or damage to airport facilities. They most commonly take the form of:

• Rocks, sand and pebbles.
• Nuts, bolts and loose hardware.
• Garbage, such as soda cans and food wrappers.
• Material from nearby construction sites.
• Small objects such as luggage tags, pens, coins, etc.
• Birds and other wildlife.

The most common types of damage caused by FOD include:

• Punctures and damage to tires in aircraft and airport vehicles.
• Damage to engines, engine inlets and fan blades as they get sucked into aircraft.
• Injuries to airport personnel and passengers from FOD blown up into the air.
• Damage to delicate equipment if they become trapped inside the housing.
• Mechanical freezing due to objects becoming lodged next to levers, etc.

Due to the fact that any one of these issues is dangerous in itself and that they can lead to far worse tragedies, as illustrated by the crash of Air France flight 4590 where the aircraft hit titanium debris and burst a tire, responsible airports take extensive measures to ensure the removal of FOD.

These measures may differ from airport to airport, but generally include a four-step approach:

• Training staff on the importance of identifying and properly removing/managing FOD.
• Regular inspections of areas which can be a source of FOD or where they are likely to collect. This includes monitoring construction sites, aircraft maintenance areas, hangars, etc.
• Clearing away FOD safely and efficiently and monitoring teams assigned to removing FOD.

Are you changing the oil in your aircraft often enough?

As with your vehicle, your aircraft requires regular oil changes in order to run safely and maintain optimal performance – but knowing exactly when to change your oil can be difficult. The general rule of thumb is to perform an oil change every four months or 50 flight hours – whichever you achieve first. It’s also a good idea to change the oil if elevated wear metals are detected, or if your aircraft has recently undergone engine maintenance.
The reason for the 50 flight hour/four month change is simple – by this point, your oil has become contaminated with the byproducts of engine use, which include sulfur, nitrogen oxides, carbon, water and other materials.
Rather than breaking down the oil’s lubricating properties, these contaminants themselves are the real problem. They have highly corrosive properties and, when they build up to a sufficiently high concentration, they can damage your crankshaft, camshaft, gears and lifters, causing serious damage to your engine and creating a real safety issue. In addition to preventing this, a new oil change restores the necessary levels of acidic neutralizers in your aircraft’s oil which protect your engine.
If your aircraft is due for an oil change, we also recommend that you use this opportunity to inspect and replace your oil filters. This will give you a better indication of your aircraft’s engine health and provide better protection against corrosion.

With comfortable reclining seating and space for you, your family and friends – and even your pets – you’ll be able to arrive at your destination relaxed, recharged and ready for adventure.
• Privacy: By accommodating you and your guests exclusively, charter flights deliver unmatched privacy and comfort. This means you can talk, sleep or start your holiday experience as soon as you board without having to accommodate the requirements of commercial flight passengers and airlines.
• Customized services: Is there a specific movie you’d like to watch on your flight? Specific meals prepared a certain way? Or do you have a pet that you’d like to keep on board with you as you fly? With private air charter services, you can. Whatever your needs, staff are happy to accommodate you to make your trip more pleasurable.
• Convenience: If you have a specific time you would like to fly or you would like to arrive as close as possible to your destination, you can when you fly privately. Charter jets require smaller runways and don’t have to stick to commercial flight paths, allowing you to fly more directly to your destination at flexible flight times.
• Competitive rates: Private charter companies are looking at leisure travel as a new focus for growth – and as a result, are offering more consumer-friendly pricing models for this sector. This means you get all the benefits of luxury private travel at an even better rate.
• National and international travel made easy: While commercial travellers are forced to take often-gridlocked routes to busy airports hours before their flights to ensure they can get through the boarding process, you don’t. Private airports are smaller, quieter and offer quick and easy airport transfers as well as executive parking. You can arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your flight and drive right up to the aircraft, bypassing the traditional airport customs process. You can even undergo the security procedures, including the security scan, without leaving the car.

Accommodating Charter Flights at Monmouth Jet Center

Whether flying for business or pleasure, charter companies design their rates and services to be as accommodating as possible – making charter jet flights a popular choice for clients flying with children and even pets. Here is some helpful advice on what to expect from your aviation partners:

When planning on traveling with children on a charter jet:

• Inform the charter jet company: This allows the company the opportunity to ensure that your children’s needs are individually catered for and accommodated. This can include food preferences, games and entertainment, as well as facilities and extras for babies.
• Accommodate your routine: Charter jet companies aim to make your trip as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, so staff will work with you to help your children keep to your preferred routine. This includes providing comfortable reclining seats and divan seating for naps.
• Your luggage: Traveling with children often means extra luggage, such as strollers or cribs, need to be accommodated. Your private jet company can assist you with this and ensure there is sufficient space onboard to meet your needs.

When planning on traveling with pets on a charter jet:

• Your pet’s needs: Charter jet companies know how important your pets are to you, so they will work with you to ensure their needs are met, from seating them inside the cabin, rather than in cargo, to food preferences at meal times and other luxuries.
• Safety first: Your pet’s safety is as important as your own, so your charter company may specify that certain safety measures are adhered to. This may include having your pet on a leash at certain times, having a safety harness or a carrier for smaller pets. These rules will differ from company to company, so be sure to enquire.
• International travel: Pets are welcome on international as well as national flights but will need to have the relevant documentation and vaccinations in order to enter your destination country.

Patch the Holes in Your Aviation Insurance

Understanding your aviation insurance policy is absolutely essential not just in New Jersey, but globally. At Monmouth Executive Airport we take a closer look at aviation insurance. In the past, some rather large aviation insurance claims have been denied because the pilots have not met with policy requirements. Of course it’s not the aim of the insurance provider to deny a claim, but if a pilot or carrier does not adhere to the contract terms, the chance that an expensive damages claim can be denied, is heightened.

If you want to patch the holes in your aviation insurance, then you should avoid the following scenarios which usually result in a denied claim:

• Unapproved pilots – never make use of a pilot who does not meet with your policy’s approved pilot clause. Some policies make allowances for an “open pilot” clause which details broad credentials for those who may or may not operate the aircraft. Other policies will detail approved pilots and second in command individuals. Make sure you check these policy stipulations before allowing a pilot to make use of your aircraft. 
• Misunderstanding of approved-use clauses – most policies will stipulate what commercial and non-commercial uses the aircraft can be used for in order to be covered. 
• Lack of sufficient security measures – where you keep your aircraft and what sort of security measures are in place to protect it will play a role. It is best to make sure you are aware of what your policy says in terms of this in order for your insurance policy to have you covered. 

Aviation Insurance

Choosing the right aviation insurance brokers is also quite important if you want to ensure you can have a safe take-off and landing and that you will be covered should something unexpected occur.

When operating your jet or similar aircraft from Monmouth Airport in New Jersey, or any other airport for that matter, you will certainly need to have insurance measures in place.

Top aviation insurance brokers serving New Jersey include: Liberty Mutual Group Wings Agency
