Just as soon as the pilot receives permission he moves his charter jet onto the runway while heading into the wind and continues down the runway. In many ways the take-off of an aircraft is like starting a car in low gear, shifting to second gear and finally into high gear as speed increases. The pilot of the charter jet adjusts the angle or pitches of the flap.

After take-off the bite is increased and the jet engine speed is reduced. When the plane reaches cruising altitude the pilot reduces engine speed and is in high. Thankfully the pilot has all the flying on his mind, while mine is on New Jersey to sign some papers.

The pilots continue checking after the charter jet is airborne and during the climb to altitude. They pull up or retract the landing gear. They also move the flaps into flight position where they are brought up close to and in line with the under surface of the wing. When the aircraft reaches the altitude called in the flight plan, another cursing check is made.

While flying the course the pilot reports his position from time to time as he passes over air traffic control points. As he flies along designated airways he knows when he is over such points by a flashing light on the instrument panel or by a cone of silence when over a radio range station. Both the flashing light and the signals in his earphones are caused by the radio signals which the station markers send up. He also keeps track of his position by checking landmarks on his charts.

Well, you might think to have a partial ownership of private jet. This will be more reasonable because you invest a little money rather than buying a plane by yourself. But, today there are weaknesses of owning an aircraft. Rent a private jet could be more realistic option.

Flying on a private jet is truly some rarified air that not everyone gets to experience. The expense of a jet is simply too cost prohibitive for most. However, a jet charter can make that dream form of travel more accessible. Adding to that luxury of flying in a private aircraft one can fly in an aircraft that says success- Learjet. Getting on a Learjet charter will have one getting to their destination not just in style and luxury, but while making a statement also.

There are other manufacturers of aircraft but none say success like Learjet. Cessna makes private jets but they also make airplanes. Those airplanes are synonymous with cheap, starter aircraft, which may be unfair to the jet division. But a name like Learjet says nothing but executive success. Learjets started production of private executive jets in 1963 Wichita, Kansas and has not looked back since. To this day they make the best and most sough after in private aircraft. (more…)

Traveling via an aircraft charter service has many wonderful benefits for the passengers. There is a reason the rich and famous prefer to travel using private jet. But with a charter service, one does not have the expense associated with ownership. Meaning the travelers can simply enjoy the benefits and not have any worries.

Traveling on a private jet is luxurious and says success. A private jet does not leave until the passengers are on board and it leaves as soon as they are ready. No need to show up hours early and be subjected to TSA lines and embarrassing scrutiny. No more being stuck in a terminal for hours with thousands of others. Better yet, there is no being stuck on a tarmac for hours and not being let off. A private jet will have full and wide seats with plenty of leg room for comfort. Depending on the aircraft it can have individualized entertainment, a custom galley and refreshments. Perhaps one the best in air benefits is that one does not have to travel with strangers but only with those they invite or they can fly solo.

An air charter service will alleviate the expenses of a private jet. Jets are expensive and few can afford to keep them for any period of time. The initial purchase price starts around $4million dollars and go up. But that is only the beginning of financial woes. Then there are the hangar fees, maintenance, insurance, and pilots salaries that do not stop. The costs keep coming if in flight or not. But an air charter service has one only paying for what they use. No flight, no expense. Also, the options are plentiful. Have a bigger crowd? Get a bigger plane. Flying on business? Get an executive jet with conference seating and communication equipment. Traveling with kids? Get a private aircraft with private entertainment for all. Better than owning only one huge white elephant and then needing some other aircraft else on every other trip. (more…)

This aircraft navigation device is commonly known as a gyro pilot or automatic pilot. This device automatically steers aircrafts. They’re also used on ships to help maintain a course for the pilot’s. They’re used to make up for human error.

The automatic pilot for charter jets actually contains two gyroscopes. The vertical gyro controls the ailerons and elevators of the charter jet. The gyros compass controls rudder. Corrective signals to the charter jet controls are produced when the aircraft moves from its proper course and attitude. These signals are voltage displacements which are amplified and sent to servo units, which are small electric motors that move the aircraft’s controls.

Lawrence Sperry, son of Elmer Sperry in 1914 invented and demonstrated an automatic gyroscopic stabilizing device for airplanes using four gyroscopes. In 1932 the Sperry Gyroscope Company developed its first gyro pilot flight control for modern airplanes. (more…)

As an aircraft owner or someone considering buying a plane, you may have heard you can charter your aircraft to the public and earn revenue and potential tax benefits. But have you ever wondered if some aircraft are more successful in the charter market than others? Which models provide higher revenue margins, are more attractive to charter clients, and are easier and less expensive to maintain? In short, which aircraft have what I call a good “charterability” factor?

First, it’s important to know that chartering out your plane is not a profitable business venture. I am often asked, “How many hours does my aircraft need to charter to pay for itself?” The answer is that it can never pay for itself since charter rates are too low and supply greatly exceeds demand. So, what’s a realistic goal? In most instances, charter revenue can cover 30 percent to 70 percent of your fixed costs, not including the mortgage payment.

Now that we’ve addressed how charter revenue can reduce ownership costs, let’s review the key factors that contribute to an aircraft’s charterability. There are three key criteria: low direct operating cost, versatility, and current charter rates. (more…)

Many people believe that a pilot must work constantly to keep the charter jet in the air. With the study of aerodynamics we can understand how charter jet, can and do fly. Aerodynamics is the way air moves against objects or of objects moving through the air. The science of aerodynamics is used in designing airplanes, ships, trains, automobiles and other objects to help them move smoothly through the air.

Wikipedia: Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Aerodynamics is a study field of fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them.

Aircraft’s are actually designed to be stable. The pilot merely needs to use a small amount of pressure on the controls from time to time to make the charter jet to turn or go up and down. Many people also believe that if the airplane engine stops running while it is in the air, that it will fall straight to the ground. This is not really the case either. When the airplane’s engine stopped in flight the airplane will glide to the ground like a sled coasting down a hill and can usually be landed safely on any level field. (more…)
