Inside Aircraft Hangar Design

20 November 2017   Hangar Space

Aircraft hangars are often seen simply as a set of walls and a roof that serve to keep jets and other aircraft out of the weather, but there’s a lot more to it than that. In fact, each job is different depending on the scale and environment it’s in. Here’s an interesting guide from Monmouth Executive Airport.

  • Space: Space in an airport or on an airfield is always at a premium – very few hangar designs involve wasting space simply because it is so precious. Making the best use of that square footage is a critical part of hangar design, as it determines exactly what the hangar can be used for. It is especially important in terms of creating an efficient workspace with optimal flow around the aircraft during building, repairs or maintenance.
  • Debris management: Known as Foreign Object Debris (FOD), effectively managing, controlling and removing debris from every critical area of an airport is essential to the safe operation of the aircraft there. If done incorrectly, for example while constructing a hangar, FOD will almost certainly lead to damaged aircraft, as it can be easily sucked into engine intakes. FOD management is critical for efficient, safe hangars, especially where aircraft maintenance takes place.
  • Electrical planning: Safe, adequate electrical access is essential in a quality aircraft hangar. Outlet banks have to be properly designed and placed so as not to compromise aircraft safety or the safety of personnel in the hangar. This might include outlets connected to rafters or scaffolding, or situated in islands on the floor.
  • Floor design: Concrete flooring has to be even, expertly laid and durable. It also has to be able to handle ultra-heavy loads if required, such as large aircraft or stored items and machinery. This means designing for wheel placement, parking loads and entry/exit paths.
  • Doors: Hangar doors have to be secure, stable and easily opened when needed, unaffected by weather conditions that can include snow and ice. They cover a huge span, so they need to be wind resistant.

How to prepare your aircraft for winter

2 October 2017   Aircraft Maintenance

Winter is on its way, and along with the fun of the festive season it’s also bringing sleet, snow and ice – none of which are great news for aircraft owners, pilots or charter companies! Prepping your aircraft and storing them correctly are key to making the most of this season as well as reducing repairs and maintenance.

Aircraft maintenance and storage tips from Monmouth Executive Airport 

  • Change your oil: Winter is the perfect time to change your oil, removing old oil that is filled with dirt and contaminants. When you do this, be sure to use a preservative oil mixture (one quart of preservative oil is recommended). After doing this, take a quick flight to make sure the engine becomes well-lubricated with the new mixture.
  • Check the sparkplugs: Remove your sparkplugs and spray the fitting with a preservative oil mixture before putting them back into place.
  • Fill your tanks: Even though you won’t be using your aircraft for a while, filling up your fuel tanks to capacity is a good idea. This reduces the moisture that can condense within your tank if it is only partially fuel, and minimizes cracking in flexible rubber tanks. The fuel will easily last the winter, as quality fuel is good for at least a year.
  • Remove your battery: If you’re not going to be flying much this winter, now’s a good time to remove your battery as it likely won’t hold charge while in storage. Store the battery in a safe location out of the cold. You can also hook up your battery to a trickle-charger every few weeks to maintain the charge and keep the battery in good working condition.
  • Critter-proofing: Mice, rats and other small animals will see your aircraft and hangar as a good place to hide out from the bad weather, and they can cause considerable mess and damage to your aircraft. No food should be left in the vicinity and all holes should be securely plugged. Pitot tube covers and vent covers are essential.

Expanding Your Fleet? Find A Private Airport In NJ That Can Accommodate You

28 August 2017   Around the Airport

Private jet charter flights and flying by private jet is one of the fastest-growing industries in the USA. So, it’s no surprise that new charter companies are forming and established ones are looking to grow. But to grow, you need the right space and facilities to support your business and your clients. Monmouth Executive Airport has the solution.

• Room to grow

Many major airports in the USA are surrounded by the cities in which they are located. So, they are finding that room to expand is severely limited. This makes them unable to meet the demands for expansion without incurring a massive cost. In contrast, Monmouth Airport is located outside of the city limits while still a convenient drive or helicopter ride from Downtown Manhattan. As such, we have hectares of land open for development. We are focused on building hangar space and developing world-class facilities in line with client and charter company expectations.

We have private, communal and t-hangars available for immediate use. These can be either rented or purchased at competitive rates. We also have affordable development plans for you to custom build your hangar to your exact specifications.

• Affordable aviation fuel programs

Making Monmouth Airport a travel hub for the tri-state area is even easier with our well-priced aviation fuel. We offer both Jet-A and Avfuel 100 at rates that are competitive with or at lower rates than alternative airports, including Morristown and Teterboro. Volume fuel and self-service discounts are offered through our loyalty program.

• Whatever your jet, we can handle it

Room to build custom aircraft hangars with office space and aviation fuel discounts are great positives to partnering with Monmouth Airport. But that means nothing if your jets can’t land or take off safely. Fortunately, we have a solution there too. Our main runway clocks in at 7,300 feet: the longest runway of any private airport in the country. It can accommodate almost all classes of jets with ease. We also have a long secondary runway at 3,500 feet for smaller aircraft and reduced air traffic.

• The sky is the limit when your charter company partners with us

In addition to our competitively priced hangars and aircraft hangar packages, we also offer private owners and charter companies world-class support and FBO services. From lavatory servicing, de-icing services, and fuel loyalty programs to our well-appointed waiting lounge and concierge services, we strive to offer pilots, crews, and passengers a truly high-quality experience.

  • We offer world-class aviation and passenger facilities: Our FBO services and amenities are top-notch, ensuring ease of operation for your charter company as well as great services for your clients.

  • We also have hangar space available now: If you want to move in right away, or need space while your custom hangar is being built, we also offer hangar space for immediate use – for rent or for purchase.
  • Great alternative to Teterboro and Morristown: We are just 1hr and 15min from Downtown Manhattan by car, and 20 mins by helicopter, making us a viable alternative for NY City access. What’s more, our uncrowded airspace and ability to get your clients in the air without the delays that are common at other airports makes us an even more advantageous partner.

We’re located out of New York Class B airspace and one mile outside Mode C airspace, making for easy, stress-free flying.
