Executive Jet Charters

Private aircraft charter is a key to success to many individuals and corporations that understand the value of time! No matter who you are, the commodity of time is truly valuable. These aircraft are truly today’s time machines that allow business owners to visit multiple cities in one day, provide vital transportation to cities and towns that do not have airline service and allow families to extend a well deserved vacation instead of spending precious time connecting on multiple flights. In the U.S., companies that provide aircraft charter must be approved by the FAA as a Part 135 air carrier as well as the aircraft they operate and the pilots that fly them.

Consumers should insure air carriers provide documentation that the company is FAA approved as well as the aircraft they plan to charter. Charter companies can also provide the flight experience of each pilot as well as the dates that they last attended training. Aircraft captains typically attend training every six months and co-pilots once per year. Air carriers should also be able to provide evidence of liability insurance for their company as well as the aircraft.

Consumers can simply request a quote from air charter companies for their proposed trip that includes all taxes and fees that may include crew overnight costs, ramp fees, landing fees as well as handling fees for international trips. Other charges may include catering if requested as well as flight attendant services. Charter companies provide these quotes free of cost and it is best to request several quotes from the air carrier if they have a a variety of aircraft. In our next article, we will discuss aircraft options and what might be the best aircraft for your next trip based on the distance, number of passengers and length of time.

The Citation CJ4, certified in March by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, is the newest and largest member of the popular CJ family of business jets consisting of the Citation CJ1+, CJ2+ and CJ3. The CJ4 is approved for single-pilot operations and shares a common pilot type rating with the other CJs. (A pilot rated to fly any one of the CJs is rated to fly them all). Retail price in 2010 dollars for a typically equipped Citation CJ4 is $9 million.

GreenTrak is a proprietary system, the first offered by a general aviation manufacturer, that uses a process known as cost indexing to minimize total trip cost by balancing the costs of direct operation, fuel burn and carbon emissions.

The Citation CJ4 has a range of just over 2,000 nautical miles (3,710 km) and a top speed of 453 knots (839 kph) – both numbers greater than originally announced in 2006. It has a takeoff roll of 3,130 feet (954 meters) at maximum takeoff weight and is capable of a direct climb to 45,000 feet (13,716 meters) in just 28 minutes.

The Citation CJ4 features a four-screen Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, new Williams FJ44-4A electronically controlled (FADEC) engines, and it debuts the Rockwell Collins Venue cabin management system.

Standard on the CJ4 are dual Mode S Diversity transponders with enhanced surveillance and ADS-B out capability, TCAS II, Class A TAWS, multi-scan weather radar, broadcast weather and a maintenance diagnostic system.
