The Top 10 Reasons to Become a Pilot

5 February 2018 Learn to Fly

There’s no question that being a pilot is an exciting choice, whether you are flying for your own enjoyment or as a career, but what are the most popular reasons for getting into this industry? Monmouth Executive Airport takes a look at the reasons people decide to become pilots.

The view: The view out of an aircraft is like nothing else on earth, transforming even the most everyday landscape into a new world.
The family: Pilots have a certain reputation all over the world… for being a family. Pilots are a great resource for advice, support and a sense of belonging.
Career choices: As a pilot, you have a range of career choices you can make, from flying commercial or private jets, to working with wilderness and rescue services. It’s worth mentioning too that pilots are of value all over the world, giving you a chance to explore new horizons.
The challenge: Being a pilot is all about being calm, cool-headed and quick when it comes to facing critical decisions, and the wrong choice can get you in serious trouble. These challenges are what draw top people to the industry to push the standards of aviation.
The knowledge: Learning to be a pilot is nothing like learning at school – it’s a whole new set of varied skills that you’ll have to put into practice each day, making you smarter and more capable. From learning how to plan properly and make sound decisions, to understanding the workings of aircraft, it’s a whole new skillset to be developed.
First solo flight: Training to fly is a daunting experience, and there’s plenty of book learning too, but if nothing compares to the experience of your first solo flight, then you have what it takes to become a pilot.
A new perspective on life: One thing that stands out about flying is the realization of our true place in the world, and this new perspective of the earth’s significance is one of the primary driving forces behind the careers of many top pilots.

Plan your summer holiday with private air charter services and arrive anywhere in style

17 May 2015 Around the Airport Charter Flights

Summer is here and it’s time to make your holiday plans a reality with luxury jet air charter services. So, what can you expect from this exclusive service?

Space to stretch: Unlike commercial airlines, private jets offer plenty of room to relax, move around and sleep. With comfortable reclining seating and space for you, your family and friends – and even your pets – you’ll be able to arrive at your destination relaxed, recharged and ready for adventure.
Privacy: By accommodating you and your guests exclusively, charter flights deliver unmatched privacy and comfort. This means you can talk, sleep or start your holiday experience as soon as you board without having to accommodate the requirements of commercial flight passengers and airlines.
Customized services: Is there a specific movie you’d like to watch on your flight? Specific meals prepared a certain way? Or do you have a pet that you’d like to keep on board with you as you fly? With private air charter services, you can. Whatever your needs, staff are happy to accommodate you to make your trip more pleasurable.
Convenience: If you have a specific time you would like to fly or you would like to arrive as close as possible to your destination, you can when you fly privately. Charter jets require smaller runways and don’t have to stick to commercial flight paths, allowing you to fly more directly to your destination at flexible flight times.
Competitive rates: Private charter companies are looking at leisure travel as a new focus for growth – and as a result, are offering more consumer-friendly pricing models for this sector. This means you get all the benefits of luxury private travel at an even better rate.
National and international travel made easy: While commercial travellers are forced to take often-gridlocked routes to busy airports hours before their flights to ensure they can get through the boarding process, you don’t. Private airports are smaller, quieter and offer quick and easy airport transfers as well as executive parking. You can arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your flight and drive right up to the aircraft, bypassing the traditional airport customs process. You can even undergo the security procedures, including the security scan, without leaving the car.

Accommodating Charter Flights at Monmouth Jet Center

3 May 2015 Around the Airport Charter Flights

Whether flying for business or pleasure, charter companies design their rates and services to be as accommodating as possible – making charter jet flights a popular choice for clients flying with children and even pets. Here is some helpful advice on what to expect from your aviation partners:

When planning on traveling with children on a charter jet:

Inform the charter jet company: This allows the company the opportunity to ensure that your children’s needs are individually catered for and accommodated. This can include food preferences, games and entertainment, as well as facilities and extras for babies.
Accommodate your routine: Charter jet companies aim to make your trip as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, so staff will work with you to help your children keep to your preferred routine. This includes providing comfortable reclining seats and divan seating for naps.
Your luggage: Traveling with children often means extra luggage, such as strollers or cribs, need to be accommodated. Your private jet company can assist you with this and ensure there is sufficient space onboard to meet your needs.

When planning on traveling with pets on a charter jet:

Your pet’s needs: Charter jet companies know how important your pets are to you, so they will work with you to ensure their needs are met, from seating them inside the cabin, rather than in cargo, to food preferences at meal times and other luxuries.
Safety first: Your pet’s safety is as important as your own, so your charter company may specify that certain safety measures are adhered to. This may include having your pet on a leash at certain times, having a safety harness or a carrier for smaller pets. These rules will differ from company to company, so be sure to enquire.
International travel: Pets are welcome on international as well as national flights but will need to have the relevant documentation and vaccinations in order to enter your destination country.

FAA Moves on Plan to Replace Leaded AVGas

16 June 2014 Avgas

The FAA is moving to the next stage of its program to find viable replacements for leaded avgas. Under the the Piston Aviation Fuels Initiative (PAFI), July 1 marked the deadline for candidate fuels to be submitted to the program for review.

So far, the FAA has accepted nine fuels for evaluation as replacements to 100 low-lead avgas. This marks significant progress in its quest to find unleaded replacement for the entire aviation fleet. Worldwide, about 230,000 aircraft rely on 100 low-lead avgas, and about 167,000 of those are based in the United States.

“Aviation organizations, the petroleum industry, and the FAA are working collaboratively to ensure the aviation community will have access to unleaded fuel that meets performance and safety standards, is affordable, and can be used by the existing fleet with minimal disruption,” said AOPA President Mark Baker. “We are pleased with the progress so far and look forward to the next phase.”

The AOPA is a member of the PAFI Steering Group, which also includes the Experimental Aircraft Association, American Petroleum Institute, National Air Transportation Association, the National Business Aviation Association, and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association.

After proposals are reviewed, the most promising fuels will begin the first phase of laboratory testing, set to begin in September at the Hughes Technical Center. Here full-scale testing in engines and planes will occur and manufacturers of fuel will need to show scalability of production and fleet-wide certification data.

The FAA has set a goal of deploying an unleaded avgas by 2018, and Congress has expressed support for the program, providing $6 million in funding this year and proposing the same level of funding for 2015.
