In June I made a transcontinental flight in Big Sam , my Cessna Skylane. It was interesting and a lot of fun for a lot of reasons, with most of them having to do with not flying a jet and not being restricted by ATC and all the regulatory stuff that makes an airline pilot feel like he’s roped and tied. Why am I free?

Flying to Europe is well within reach for many executive jet types. Transatlantic routes While safety is still the primary concern for pilots, today’s challenges are not so much the vastness and weather on this ocean, but traffic density and regulatory compliance. Some need technical stops in between, while others can make it non-stop.

Impact on private jet operators Rising fuel prices can also have a significant impact on private jet operators. Private jet operators typically charge their customers by the hour, and so rising fuel prices can lead to higher hourly rates. This can make private jet travel less affordable for some customers.

Scenario 3: VFR into IFR If you read the accident reports the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) compiles, you will notice a lot are attributed in part to the pilot’s decision to continue VFR into deteriorating weather. In the ATD the scenario begins by having the pilot check the weather before takeoff. Keep it realistic.
