A Great Flight Crew Makes for a Great Flight

Because business executives must travel so much, they often find it more convenient to fly rather than use other modes of transportation. Private jet charter offers an additional level of luxury travel with generous time savings. Having a great flight
crew is key to your safety and comfort while traveling to your destination, so here are some tips for what to look for when you are booking an air charter.

You will want to make sure that every member of each flight crew you will be using is screened by the strictest industry standards. You will also want to have an experienced pilot flying your executive jet, and to be safe you will want two pilots piloting your aircraft. These pilots, depending on which type of plane they are flying, should be type rated and certified for that specific type of aircraft, and should also hold an Airline transport certificate instrument rating. You will also want to make sure that the pilots are very experienced flying in all types of flying conditions, including cross-country and night flying, so ask to find out how much flight time they have.

Every crewmember does his or her best to ensure your safety and that the plane and surrounding facilities are always secure. You shou
ld expect to see identification badges worn by all members of a flight crew when they are in or around the airplane. Any charter jet that you fly in should require careful screening of all passengers who have ever flown in the plane.

The planes themselves are vital to your safety. You will want to make sure that the airplanes have a complete maintenance history log on board, and that it meets FAR Part 135 and 91 regulations. Check to see if, when the flight crew is not on the airplane, that the jet is locked and secured. Aircraft should also meet the stringent guidelines as set forth by Wyvern Consulting Ltd. and Aircraft Research Group/US, both safety consultants, as well as the National Air Transportation Association and NATA First.

Other members of your flight crew will do everything necessary to make sure that you are very comfortable while in flight and have everything you require. If you wish to work while in transit, there is a wide array of assistants ready to help you. You may have temporary workers, secretaries, legal and accounting assistants, as well as computer technicians, and even catering and event planning professionals fly with you to get everything that you need to done. If your goal is to relax while traveling, hairdressers, nannies, masseuses, or any other service you require is available for in-flight assistance. Travel in safety and comfort every time you choose a jet rental.
