HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRIVATE JET FOR YOUR CHARTER FLIGHT

Private jet charter is all about choice, from choosing from a wider range of airports closer to your destination to your choice of onboard dining and entertainment. One important choice to make correctly when chartering your flight is choosing the right type of private jet, as there are quite a few different options. Here’s some insight from Monmouth Executive Airport, premier suppliers of affordable hangar space in NJ.

Determine the Number of Passengers

Capacity is the most important aspect of choosing a private jet, as it needs to be able to seat your entire party in comfort. While very light jets will take between two and four passengers, larger jets can accommodate up to 16 passengers on board. Confirm your numbers before you charter a flight and remember to include people who may be joining on different legs of your journey.

The Range of Your Jet 

How far away your destination is and how you’d like to travel there are other important factors to consider, as private jets vary in range. For example, a light jet will have a shorter range. So, it will be able to reach closer destinations with ease but may need multiple refueling stops to reach further destinations, which can affect travel times and routes.

Economy of Travel 

Certain jets are more economical than others and, if you are going to be organizing regular charter flights for business or tours, then it’s a good idea to choose a jet that offers great fuel economy.

Features

Features are a huge part of private jet travel and are in a large part determined by the type of jet you choose. For example, some jets offer high-speed internet connections, which is ideal for corporate travelers who want to work as they fly. Others offer more storage space for luggage, more crew members to see to your comfort, more luxurious cabins or dedicated bedrooms, or even conferencing facilities. It’s all about finding a jet that suits your personal travel style.

THESE ARE THE FASTEST PRIVATE JETS IN THE WORLD

Private jets fall into a wide range of categories. Some are the most luxurious or have the best tech, others can fly further or carry more guests – and some are known for their sheer speed. Here are some of the fastest private jets in the world, from Monmouth Executive Airport’s flight school in NJ.

Bombardier Challenger 650 

Cruising at 554 mph, this is a private jet known for its maneuverability as well as its speed, making it a favorite for city-to-city commutes – especially where runway accessibility is a challenge. It seats 12 people, offers impressively low operating costs and the fastest internet speeds available on private jets, making it a popular choice for corporate flights.

Dassault Falcon 900

Reaching Mach 0.84 with a cruise speed of 590 mph, this French aircraft is as elegant as it is speedy. It also has an impressive range of 4.000 nautical miles, ideal for cross-country journeys. Despite 3 powerful jet engines, this aircraft is surprisingly light at just under 31.000 lbs thanks to the use of carbon fiber and Kevlar in the manufacture of the fuselage, which also makes it economical to fly. That doesn’t mean corners have been cut when it comes to comfort however. The aircraft is incredibly quiet, with a luxuriously-designed interior.

Gulfstream G500 and G600 

These aircraft offer everything you could want in a larger private jet, from seating for up to 19 people and long-range flight of up to 7.130 miles without stopping to its impressive cruising speed of 610 mph. It has a large and luxurious cabin of almost 42 feet and 45 ft respectively, a high-tech flight deck, and it boasts the lowest cabin sound levels on the market.

Cessna Citation X+ 

Reaching astonishing speeds of up to Mach 0.935 (617 mph), this is currently the world’s fastest private jet. It features two Rolls-Royce engines, a futuristic glass cockpit, and a Honeywell avionics system. Seating 12 passengers in a luxuriously appointed cabin, this aircraft is as much about comfort and glamour as it is about speed, fuel-efficiency, and cutting-edge technology.

INSIDE THE PROCESS: DE-ICING A PRIVATE JET

There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes technical services that ensure that private jets are able to fly safely, including de-icing services. Right now, while we’re in the grip of winter, Monmouth Airport – an exclusive private jetport – is taking a look at why these services are so important.

De-Icing Is a Legal Safety Requirement in Winter

If you’ve ever left your car outside overnight in winter, you’ll be familiar with the de-icing process. And, it’s a very similar process for private jets. In severe weather, multiple de-icings may be needed to ensure that the aircraft is free of snow and ice, and is safe to fly. Snow and ice on the wings will negatively affect the performance of the jet, and even a thin layer can reduce flight performance. In addition, private jet controls like the rudders, elevators, and ailerons can be blocked by snow and ice, which is very dangerous.

De-icing removes snow and ice from the aircraft and forms a protective layer that will prevent new ice from forming for a period of time.

The cost of this process is handled differently by each charter company. It is, therefore, a good idea to avoid early morning private jet flights if you are going to have to pay the bill, as this is when the jet is most likely to be covered in snow and ice. Here’s what happens:

• De-icing fluid, anti-icing fluid or a combination of both is sprayed onto the jet.
• This is done at the private airport by a custom de-icing rig using a hose that’s much like a firehose.
• The fluid is applied at a high temperature and is colored orange, which helps ensure that no area of the jet is missed out.
• It can be a pretty startling experience for clients, as they are usually on board for the de-icing process to ensure that the jet can take off immediately after. This prevents ice and snow from accumulating on the jet again.

Jets that are kept inside hangars don’t usually require de-icing. It is, however, frequently used for jets that are kept outdoors, as they are the most likely to get the full impact of winter weather, including heavy snows and storms.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE’S A WORLDWIDE PILOT SHORTAGE?

According to the CEO of Boeing and other industry experts, there is a serious shortage of commercial pilots worldwide – making it the perfect opportunity to learn to fly in NJ at the Monmouth Executive Airport flight school in 2020. Here’s some interesting insight into why this shortage has occurred and what it means for your career as a pilot.

What Is the Cause of the Pilot Shortage?

There are several reasons for this pilot shortage. The most significant reason is that the demand for air travel worldwide has never been higher – and it keeps growing. While the USA has a high demand for commercial pilots, it’s the Asia-Pacific region that’s leading the drive for air travel, with an ever-increasing number of people wanting to travel for both business and leisure. The International Air Transport Association believes that this demand is so significant that air travel is forecasted to double in volume over the next 20 years.

At the same time, a lot of experienced pilots are starting to retire. As many as 42% of current pilots are expected to retire in the next 10 years, which means that there’s a huge need for commercial pilots as well as a clear path right to the top for the most dedicated career climbers.

This demand is currently being felt at a regional airline level, but is expected to expand to all levels throughout the commercial air travel industry.

How Many Pilots Does the Industry Need?

It’s difficult to give an exact number, but Boeing themselves believe that at least 800.000 new pilots will be needed over the next 20 years. This is great news for up-and-coming pilots who want to get into commercial flying, since you’ll be part of an industry that’s projected to grow from $8.1 trillion to $8.7 trillion in the next 10 years, putting an estimated 44.000 new commercial airliners in the air over the two decades.

This is also great news for people who want other careers in the aviation industry. After all, those aircraft and pilots will need crews, technicians, and FBO services to support them.

What Happens on Your First Solo Flight?

One of the most exciting milestones to achieve when you attend flight school is your first solo flight! It’s a huge moment that puts all your hard work to the test; building your confidence and teaching you exactly what it’s like to have full control of and responsibility for an aircraft. Here are some insights into what to expect from your first solo flight, from Monmouth Executive Airport’s flight school in NJ.

When Will My Solo Flight Happen? 

There’s no exact date planned for anyone’s first solo flight. It will only happen once your instructor feels that you are ready, after considerable preparation and testing. Even then, your instructor will wait for the ideal weather and flight conditions so that the flight is not too challenging.

Minimum Requirements for a Solo Flight 

In addition to your instructor’s blessing, you’ll need to meet the minimum requirements for a solo flight as set out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This includes:

Ground Training: 

Passing knowledge tests based on Part 61 and Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), including testing based on the rules and regulations of the base airport and the operational limitations of the aircraft that will be used.

Flight Training: 

While there is no set rule for flight hours, around 20 to 30 flight hours are typical. In addition, you must be fully trained in various maneuvers including takeoffs, landings, traffic patterns, emergency procedures, go arounds, stall entries and recoveries, and more.

The Typical Solo Flight Experience 

After your instructor has approved a fair weather day for your flight, you’ll likely go up with them to do a final run-through of several maneuvers, including your takeoff and landing maneuvers – often several in a row. If they are happy with your performance, you’ll land and taxi back to drop off your instructor.

Your solo flight will start right from the beginning, with the aircraft engine off. After your instructor has signed your logbook and student pilot certificate, you’ll be allowed to proceed.

Be prepared for it to feel quite a bit different from your past experiences! It’ll be quieter without your instructor there to chat with you and you may find yourself progressing through maneuvers a little faster as a result. 

You may run through maneuvers several times, building your skills and confidence significantly with each repetition. Be prepared to make a few mistakes – this is one of the most significant learning experiences you’ll have as a pilot, after all. But, stay calm and remember that you have the skills and knowledge to correct yourself safely. And, have fun!
