Post-COVID 19 air travel

7 September 2020 Monmouth Jet Center

The Coronavirus pandemic has left many wondering how and when they will be able to safely travel and visit friends and family that live overseas. Although some domestic airlines are operating again, safety and social distancing are a valid concern and may prove to be quite difficult to implement in busy airport terminals and oftentimes tightly packed commercial planes with small seats and little legroom, to say the least.

Many believe that technology like biometrics might become the new normal at check-ins and security points as it helps to avoid human-to-human contact and the handling of documents back and forth and thus the spreading of germs. Facial recognition as well as fingerprint and eye-scan technology could prove to be the way forward to assist in maintaining social distancing at airports and may also allow for the faster processing of passengers through airport terminals.

Time is money and the time spent to board a commercial aircraft post-COVID 19 could be lengthy considering all the new health and safety protocols that airlines and airports will have to implement. That’s why private aviation is so appealing.

4 reasons why private aviation saves time and poses fewer risks

Passengers boarding a private jet spend a lot less time at the airport because the average time from arriving at the airport to boarding your charter plane is less than 15 minutes.
Fewer people at the airport mean fewer health and safety procedures thus saving you time, and if we may state the obvious, far fewer passengers on your plane.
No queues at immigration, fewer shops (if any) and no need for baggage to be labeled at the check-in counter all mean less human interaction and fewer safety risks for those who simply cannot afford to get sick or who may be in a high-risk category should they get sick from the Coronavirus.
Chartering a private jet at Monmouth Jet Center also means you can fly at your own schedule because smaller jets fly faster and higher than commercial airlines and so their flight paths are more direct and they do not compete with larger airlines for airspace.

Aviation Meteorologist: Weather has a huge impact on the air travel industry, and it is up to aviation meteorologists to evaluate weather data, make accurate weather forecasts across the flight path at all altitudes, and provide this information to flight dispatchers and pilots.

How To Build Your Career As A Pilot

18 December 2017 Learn to Fly

The festive season is all about making dreams come true, so it’s the perfect time to start putting your career plans to become a pilot into action! There’s more demand for private and commercial pilots than ever before, so follow these essential steps from Monmouth Executive Airport in NJ, and take to the skies.

Complete pilot training at a reputable flight school

The FAA (Federal Aviation Association) offers several types of pilot’s licenses which determine what kind of aircraft you will be qualified to fly. This includes private pilot, recreational pilot, commercial pilot and sports pilot certifications. Be sure to choose a flight school that is FAA-certified where you will learn from qualified, experienced instructors.

Earn your private pilot’s license

This is the perfect starting point for your career, and by achieving a set amount of 40 flying hours, passing examinations and demonstrating your skills and knowledge to your flight instructor, you’ll meet the requirements for this license.

You’ll also have to be over the age of 17, and be medically cleared by an FAA medical exam.

Earn your commercial pilot’s license

This is an additional license that qualifies you to fly commercial aircraft. You need to be over the age of 18, pass a physical exam that includes an eye test, and have logbook endorsements from an authorized instructor to support your level of flying experience. You’ll need to have 150 hours of flight time with 50 hours being as Pilot in Command, be able to demonstrate the required mathematical and aeronautical expertise, and have strong written and oral English language skills.

Get experience in the air

While the abovementioned licenses qualify you to fly a commercial aircraft, it’s your experience in the air that will determine your career progress, as entry level jobs are very competitive. One way to do this is to qualify for a Certified Flight Instructor’s certificate and work for a few years gaining experience and training new pilots. Other popular options include flying as a banner-towing pilot, for skydivers or for sight-seeing experiences before moving into roles at regional airlines.

The right time to become a professional pilot is right now

4 September 2017 Learn to Fly

Whether you’re fresh out of school or college, or midway through a career, if you have a love of flying and a dream of being a professional pilot, there’s no time better than now to take that leap. Here’s why.

Firstly, the demand for professional pilots is very high at the moment. The aviation industry is growing; many regional airlines are being granted new contracts from mainline carriers, and private charter companies are experiencing a growth spurt as the private airline industry experiences record levels of demand. This means that they are actively looking for pilots and crew to make this growth a reality and meet contractual demands.

Secondly, many of the current pilots active in the industry are facing retirement in the next 10 years – in fact, these numbers are set to peak at very high levels, which means that less senior pilots have a chance to move up the career ladder – and new pilots have plenty of space to enter the industry. And the numbers back this up, with over 33,200 pilots expected to retire by 2030.

If you’re worried about being stuck on the bottom rungs, however, you can put that to rest thanks to the popularization of effective flow programs in most mainline commercial airline companies. These programs are designed to assist you in your career, ensuring that you are positioned in a regional carrier as first officer for 2-3 years before being moved up to captain for another 1-2 years, at which point you will be interviewed for positions at the mainline carrier.

Pay was one of the main concerns in the industry, as low pay pushed many pilots into other career paths and away from being a pilot. However, as the industry experiences a growth spurt and demand for pilots increases, the pay has gone up to far more acceptable levels including sign-on bonuses and other financial incentives.
