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.

While the pilots are handling the charter jet, the passengers may read, visit, eat or any number of things at will. The only exception is during take-offs, landing or in a storm. There are so many lesser restrictions on a charter jet than on the large commercial airlines. You can even have your pet on board if you wish. For that reason alone might be enough to use a charter jet over a commercial airline. Simply meaning many people sees their pet as another member of the family! Thank goodness for charter jets.

In an aircraft flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet the passengers may enjoy a view of 175 miles in each direction to the horizon. Such a view of 96,000 square miles would be large enough to include the states of Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey.

The cabin remains comfortable even though the charter jet is so high, that the outside temperature maybe below freezing and the outside atmospheric pressure very low. Heat is regulated through automatic control devises and cabin air pressure by mechanical means which the crew operates easily.

Fresh air usually comes through individual air outlets located at each passenger seat. What is a big attraction to charter jets these days is when you don’t have a lot of spare time. As we all know time is money! The next real estate deal you need to close in person, think charter jet!

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.

This automatic pilot was installed on Wiley Post’s airplane the “Winnie Mae.” The automatic pilot’s helped Post make the first flight around the world. The gyro pilot is also used in ships to control the rudder by corrective signals from a gyro compass. The first automatic pilot for ships was used on the Standard Oil tanker J. A. Moffett in the early 1920’s. In ships the gyro pilot is often called the Iron Quartermaster or Metal Mike.

What the gyroscope is today actually is a mechanical device which seems to defy the force of gravity. A gyroscope is sometimes called a gyro, is basically a spinning wheel mounted on a moving frame. A toy gyroscope can perform truly amazing tricks! It can balance at an angle on end of your finger even if you move your hand about.

To try one out, balance one on the edge of a drinking glass and if you try to push it gently done, it will not fall! If you point the axle of a rapidly gyroscope at the sun, the end of the axle will appear to follow the sun as it crosses the sky. All this is important because the gyroscope holds its original position in space while the earth turns under it. All in all the gyroscope’s practical uses pertain not just to charter jets and ships, but to railroad surveying, in gunnery, in oil well drilling as well as many other uses too!

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.

There are four forces that act on an airplane in flight. These forces are drag, lift, thrust and gravity. Lift is the force which counteracts gravity. It is caused by the motion of air over and under the airplanes wings when the plane is moving. Wings or airfoils are designed to produce lift. Lift is produced in two ways. One way is by the direct pressure of air against a tilted wing. Air in motion exerts a pressure against any object that it strikes.

Gravity is the force of the earth’s downward pull. Gravity must be overcome for a charter jet to leave the ground and to stay in the air. The center of gravity is the point within the charter jet on which the airplane will balance. If the center of gravity is in front of the wings the plane will be nose-heavy. If the center of gravity is behind the wings the plane is tail-heavy.

Drag is the force which resists the forward motion of an object through the air. Lastly is the thrust is the force which carries the charter jet forward through the air.

Medical science has proved that pilots cannot depend on their senses for this all the time. Just for an example: a pilot may be leaning to one side but think that he is sitting straight up.

With the development of aircraft instruments has made it possible to fly blind or fly with instruments when the pilot cannot see the ground because of bad weather or darkness. Charter jet instruments are complicated to build and expensive to buy. Just for an example take one electronic fuel gauge may cost upward of $6,000 or more.

There are three general groups of aircraft instruments at bay. The first group is the navigation instruments which help the pilot to find his way from one airport to the other. The second group is the flight instruments, which tell the pilot the aircraft attitude of his aircraft while in the air. Last but not least are the engine and airframe instruments which tell how the aircraft is operating.

Of the flight instruments there are the picot-static tube that provides information about air pressure for a number of aircraft instruments such as the altimeter and airspeed indicator. It consists of two separate tubes or air lines, a picot tube and a static tube, mounted together in a housing.

This heading edge of an airplane wing or under the fuselage in multi-engine airplanes. The static tube is closed at the end but slotted on the side so that it obtains the atmospheric or static, pressure outside the aircraft. The picot tube is open at the end so that it receives the full impact of the pressure of the air stream. The term picot tube often is used to include both tubes. The picot-static tube must be protected from ice or water so that it will register accurately. Usually a heater coil melts any ice and a drain carries off water.

The barometric altimeter is used to determine the height or altitude of the aircraft above the earth. It measures atmospheric pressure by information received from the static tube and operates just like an aneroid barometer. The atmospheric pressure becomes less at a regular rate as the aircraft goes up and thus indicates the height in feet of the aircraft.
