Highlighting Stratos Jets’ Participation at the 2011 ACANA Panel Discussion 

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

ACANA President, Joel Thomas, Introduces ACANA Panel
“Leadership is intentional influence.” — Michael McKinney, 1980

What does it mean to be an industry leader? At Stratos Jet Charters, we believe that a leader should play an important part in establishing best business practices and fostering those ideals in the industrial community. Stratos Jets, a worldwide air charter agency, is a recognized leader in the air charter industry, having taken an active role in the Air Charter Association of North America (ACANA).

Stratos Jets was able to further spread these ideals through recent participation in ACANA’s panel discussion at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) conference in Las Vegas. The panel discussion was centered on educating the air charter community about best practices and safety concerns, and included discussions with industry professionals and members of the Department of Transportation.

The discussion was introduced by Stratos Jets and ACANA President Joel Thomas. It was intended to meet ACANA’s goals for greater transparency and best practices within the jet charter community. At Stratos Jets, we believe that when air charter consumers are made more knowledgeable about the requirements and assurances of their charter experience, that they will make informed decisions about their air charter service provider.

This policy has been a hallmark of Stratos Jets since our inception in 2007. Stratos Jets agents are among the most knowledgable in the industry regarding aircraft and FAA regulations, and it is our policy to openly discuss these matters with our clients.

The panel discussion also explored business practices performed by charter brokers and Part 135 and 121 operators. The highlight of this discussion was the value that such organizations continue to grant to the air charter industry. The discussion helped to further clarify contractual language for customers as well as the latest news regarding the HR5900 legislative action.

In addition, ACANA members were pleased to be a part of industry-changing discussions that included private and government interests. The issues discussed are particularly relevant to day-to-day professionals in the air charter industry. Having a voice in these talks has helped ACANA and its members to solidify themselves as leaders within the air charter industry.

By working with the DOT, ACANA hopes to continue to raise the bar for both new companies and established charter firms. It is the shared belief of all ACANA members that the best governance for an industry is the industry itself, and in this light, ACANA is committed to raising the standard for all air charter organizations.

Stratos Jets is proud to be a leading member of ACANA and to take part in these important discussions that will help build the future of our industry. As an ACANA member, Stratos Jets hopes to encourage other organizations to adopt ACANA’s best practices and standards for excellence. Stratos Jets continues to help further ACANA’s mission of educating air charter consumers.

Explaining the Consumer Confidence and Safety Issues with Shared Flight Programs

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

In these difficult, economic times, private jet travelers may be looking for alternatives to the high cost of charter flights, but how can you be certain that you are getting the safest service at the best available price?  Over the past few years, a new method for air charter has emerged in the air charter industry known as the shared flight program.  A “shared flight” or “fractional charter” occurs when a group of travelers share all the costs and expenses of an individual charter flight.  Shared flight programs can significantly reduce the cost of private jet travel, however, they also pose serious problems for consumer confidence and safety.  Shared flight programs are not technically illegal, but aircraft operators that sell shared charter flights have been called into question for skirting FAA and DOT regulations in order to sell a charter flight.

In order to ensure passenger safety, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) have established specific safety regulations and guidelines to govern different types of aircraft operations.  Shared charter flights are conducted on on-demand charter aircraft and are therefore governed by FAA Part 135 and DOT on-demand air carrier regulations.  Under these regulations, on-demand air charter flights are not allowed to be “scheduled” or arranged by aircraft operators without additional authority as a scheduled air carrier.  This means that your aircraft operator can not tell you about an available seat on a pre-arranged charter flight.  However, you are allowed to share the expense of a charter flight with other passengers, as long as the operator is not involved in that part of the booking process.  This is how aircraft operators sell shared flight programs without violating FAA and DOT on-demand air charter regulations.

Given the deceptive nature of shared flight programs, wouldn’t you prefer to work with honest, transparent aircraft operators that adhere to all FAA and DOT regulations?  An easy way to identify air charter service providers that meet the highest standards for safety and excellence is through the Air Charter Association of North America (ACANA).  ACANA is an invite-only, non-profit organization comprised of the finest air charter service providers in North America.  ACANA members promote the highest level of best practices and professionalism in order to enhance the industry as a whole.  As an ACANA member, Stratos Jet Charters ensures that its approved vendors adhere to all FAR Part 135 and DOT regulations, and we never arrange shared charter flights to ensure your personal safety.  Our goal as an ACANA member is to educate air charter consumers about the added advantage of working with honest, reliable service providers and avoiding the grey area of shared charter flights.

Understanding the Difference in Safety Between Part 91 (Private) and Part 135 (Charter) Operations

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Making the decision between owning your own private aircraft or utilizing a private jet charter service is one of the most difficult and important decisions you will ever make.  When considering the advantages of both business models, it can be difficult to determine which option will afford you with the most safety and security for your investment.  Having a working knowledge of both FAR Part 91 and Part 135 regulations, however, could help you make the right decision for you and your company.

New entrants to the private aviation industry may not be familiar with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) for both general aviation and private jet charter operations.  The FARs, established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), govern all aircraft operations in the United States.  The FARs were designed to promote aviation safety and protect passengers from unnecessary risk.  Under the FARs, aircraft operations conducted by privately-owned aircraft are governed by FAR Part 91 regulations, while “air taxi” or private jet charter operations are governed by FAR Part 135 regulations.

When consulting your FAR Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), it can be difficult to identify the differences between FAR Part 91 and Part 135 regulations.  As a rule, FAR Part 135 (air charter) aircraft maintenance and safety requirements are far stricter than Part 91 (private) regulations because aircraft operators fly “for compensation or hire.”  Part 135 regulations were designed to establish a standard for professionalism, safety and best practices in the air charter industry.  These regulations govern pilot training and experience, aircraft maintenance, safety procedures and insurance requirements.

Under the more lenient Part 91 section of the FAR/AIM, private aircraft are subject to less rigorous maintenance standards.  Under Part 91, aircraft owners are only required to establish an “inspection program” for their aircraft, which can be typically accomplished through an “annual” inspection.  Annual inspections evaluate the airworthiness of private aircraft by evaluating the inspection intervals, parts replacement and life-limited components of private aircraft.   Conversely, Part 135 aircraft operators are required to establish a more rigorous maintenance program (such as the 100-hour inspection) for their charter aircraft.  This inspection requires aircraft operators to inspect their aircraft every 100 hours and continually provide assurance of the safety and integrity of their private aircraft.

In addition to more frequent maintenance requirements, Part 135 charter aircraft are also subject to certain runway length and weather reporting restrictions.  Every private jet aircraft has certain runway length limitations referred to as takeoff and landing distances.  These distances vary based on the size and weight of your aircraft.  While Part 91 aircraft can utilize any airport that meets with their own runway length requirements, Part 135 aircraft can only utilize airports where they can land within the first 80 percent of the runway.  In addition, Part 135 charter aircraft can only conduct instrument approaches into airports with on-site weather reporting facilities, while Part 91 aircraft can conduct instrument procedures into any airport.

Although Part 135 regulations may seem more restrictive, it’s important to understand that these regulations were designed to ensure your personal safety on jet charter flights.  The stricter maintenance requirements of Part 135 help to ensure that charter flights are conducted on the safest and most highly-maintained private jet aircraft in the industry.   In addition, Part 135 runway length requirements prevent charter operators from utilizing potentially unsafe airports with short runways.  Part 135 weather reporting restrictions make certain that your air charter pilots obtain the necessary weather information before attempting an instrument approach procedure into any airport.

At Stratos Jet Charters, we understand the risks of combining cursory flight operations with “laid-back” maintenance programs.  A few weeks ago, we heard the story of the Piper Seminole crash that took the lives of four, young Part 91 pilots.  If you haven’t heard the story, four Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) pilots were departing from the Palm Beach Airport, when they lost power in their left engine just after takeoff.  The pilots were not able to react quickly enough, and the aircraft crashed into the Palm Beach International Airport.  Although the NTSB has yet to release the official report of the crash, it is most probable that the aircraft crashed as a result of engine failure.

Accidents like the Piper Seminole crash are perfect examples of why you should work with experienced air charter agents to find fully-licensed Part 135 aircraft for your private jet flights.  Part 135 regulations have helped establish a level of consistency that can prevent accidents like these from happening.  The enhanced safety requirements for Part 135 flights provides passengers with the assurance of a safe and well-maintained aircraft.  By choosing to utilize a private jet charter service, you and your company can acquire the most safety and security for your investment.

Private Jet Charter Q & A – Week 1: How much do private jet charters cost?

Friday, August 20th, 2010

How much will my private jet charter cost? Where can my private jet land? How much luggage can I bring on my charter flight? These are just a few of the questions we receive here at Stratos Jet Charters. It comes as a surprise that so little information is available about private jet charters, considering the growing popularity of private air travel. At Stratos Jets, our mission is to educate and inform air charter consumers about the most important information and topics in private aviation. Recently, we launched a new “Private Jet Charter Question & Answer” series to help answer some of the most common questions in the air charter industry. Each week in the series, our expert air charter consultants will answer one question concerning private jet charter that will help our air charter buyers make educated, informed decisions each time they fly private.

How much does a private jet charter cost?

One of the most frequent asked questions we receive at Stratos Jets is how much private jet charters cost. For many of our clients, price is the determining factor in deciding which aircraft to book for their charter flights. While Stratos Jets agents can always provide a rough estimate for charter flights, the actual cost of your individual flight depends on the specific needs of your request, aircraft availability and several important factors.

The standard method for providing a rough estimate for your charter flight is to calculate flight costs by hourly rate. There are six different categories of private aircraft available for private charter and each has its own standard price range. These categories include helicopters, turboprops, light, mid-size and heavy jet aircraft and airliners. Using this standard hourly rate method, helicopter typically charter for about $1,000 to $5,000 per flight hour and turboprops charter from about $1,550 to $2,500 per flight hour. Light jets range anywhere from $2,250 to $3,450 and mid-sized jets charter for about $3,450 to $5,000 per flight hour. Heavy jets charter from $5,000 to $9,000 per hour and airliners start at $6,500 per hour.

As we mentioned earlier, the actual cost of your flight ultimately depends on several key components. These factors include aircraft age, safety procedures, operational costs, aircraft category, length of stay, repositioning and landing fees as well as added catering costs. Any number of these factors could combine to increase your charter flight’s price from a couple thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. A charter flight on a brand new Gulfstream heavy jet, for example, will cost thousands more than a private jet charter on an older Citation Jet. A charter flight to Oakland International Airport instead of the San Francisco International Airport, could save you as much as as $1,200 in landing fees.

As you can see, determining the actual price of your charter flight requires a thorough understanding of the charter market and extensive market research. The best way to receive the best, possible price for a jet charter flight is to hire an expert air charter agent to conduct the necessary research for your flight. At Stratos Jets, our air charter consultants can find the safest and most comfortable aircraft that can meet the specific needs of our your flight.

How Runway Length Can Affect Your Charter Flight

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

As an air charter consumer, you may have experienced a time when your charter aircraft couldn’t land at a preferred airport because of the airport’s runway length.  Considering the convenience and flexibility of private jet charter, this information could have come as somewhat of a surprise to you.

It’s important to understand that every private jet has certain runway length limitations referred to as takeoff and landing distances.  These distances vary based on the size and weight of your aircraft. These requirements are set forth to enable jet aircraft to meet with the Federal Aviation Administration regulation that requires private jets to operate within 60 percent of a runway.  This means that private jets have to takeoff from the first half of the runway in order to comply with FAA rules.  Aircraft with heavy weight or poor climb rates have to either reduce cargo, fuel or passenger count or takeoff from a longer runway.  Another runway length restriction concerns accelerate-stop distance.  Under this rule, jet aircraft must be able to accelerate to their full takeoff speed, abort the flight mission and still have enough runway distance to come to a complete stop.

How do you know which aircraft will require more runway?  Typically speaking, the larger your jet aircraft, the more runway distance it will need to safely takeoff and land.  That’s why smaller aircraft can takeoff from shorter runways while heavy airliners need several thousands of feet to roll to a complete stop.  The problem with runway length requirements is that they can significantly limit the number of aircraft or airports available to you for your charter flight.  Charter flights to small airports with short runway are only accessible to lighter aircraft.  Conversely, charter flights to large, international airports like LaGaurdia International can accommodate just about any size or type of aircraft because of its extremely long runways.  However, there are larger aircraft like the Falcon 50 that can takeoff from shorter runways due to enhanced takeoff capabilities.

In addition to these runway length restrictions, private charter jets are restricted to using only the most “favorable” runway at every airport, as mandated by the FAA.  This rule says that your private jet can’t land or takeoff from poorly-maintained runways with cracks or corrosion.  These runways are typically found at small, uncontrolled or private airports or in remote locations where there isn’t a high demand for air travel.

To learn more about runway restrictions for your next charter flight, contact a Stratos Jet Charters agent.  Our expert air charter consultants have the first-hand industry knowledge to arrange a charter flight on an aircraft that can meet the specific needs of your charter flight.

Differentiating Beyond Price – Your Tool Kit For Making Intelligent Jet Charter Decisions

Part 3 – Pilot Certification

When you hire Stratos Jet Charters as your air charter agent, it is our job to identify all relevant aircraft, ensure the proper certification, maintenance and safety of each plane and to create a competitive market for your charter flight. And determining the motivation of your broker can sometimes be difficult, especially those brokers with limited aviation expertise – who place a priority on their profits, not your safety. This is why we created this educational series, or “tool kit”, to provide you with the knowledge that you need to make well-informed jet charter decisions.

Our first two topics discussed aircraft insurance verification and aircraft maintenance, and how vital each is to your safety. Our third, and equally critical topic focuses on the issue of pilot certification.

First, some basics on pilot certification and training. To fly air charter, a pilot must progress through flight training and obtain a commercial pilot’s license, an instrument rating, and a multi-engine rating. After obtaining these licenses, every operator has a minimum number of hours of Pilot in Command experience which they require for a pilot to be eligible to fly air charter. As the aircraft becomes more complex, the minimum hours required by operators and also their insurance companies increase.

Pilots should receive a minimum of 5 to 10 hours of in-flight training covering every possible emergency that can happen in an aircraft. They should also have a primary concern for safety, including the safe condition or airworthiness of the plane; knowledge of weather factors affecting the safety of the flight; flight regulations; air traffic control procedures, and air navigational aids designed to provide maximum safety in the air.

After their training, pilots take an oral and written examination, as well as a flight check in which they must demonstrate their ability to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) examiner. Pilots need to demonstrate to the FAA that their flying skills, knowledge and state of health are at all times acceptable for the particular flying jobs they perform. These flight checks are demanding, and can be failed.

And while these standard FAA requirements are stringent, Stratos Jet Charters goes even further in our own pilot requirements. Each Pilot in Command of a charter flight arranged by Stratos Jet Charters is required to have a minimum of 3,000 hours of total flight time. And each Second in Command is required to have a minimum of 1,000 total flight hours.

Operators chosen by Stratos Jets are required to only hire pilots with a 100% training record and all pilots must attend Flight Safety School at least once per year. We also require that every aircraft contracted by Stratos Jet Charters be regularly audited by an independent agency, such as Wyvern or ARGUS.

Wyvern and ARGUS have the two most recognized safety auditing standards in the industry. During an on-site safety evaluation, Part 135 charter operators are measured against the demanding ARGUS or Wyvern operating standards, both which far exceed government regulatory oversight. The reliability of audit results depends on the application of well-defined, consistent audit processes and standards. The strength of both Wyvern and ARGUS safety audit programs lie in the experience, qualifications and superior training of their audit teams, reviewing operators’ aircraft fleets, crews and maintenance. Every area of the operation is scrutinized.

And meeting these standards does make a real difference in safety. This can be observed in historical safety records. A miniscule percentage of both fatal and non-fatal FAR Part 135 accidents from January 1991 to April 2009 involved ARGUS or Wyvern-compliant and recommended aircraft or aircrew, far less than 1%. Having an ARGUS or Wyvern compliant operator, crew and maintenance program is your assurance that the pilots of your flight have a record clear of accidents, incidents and enforcement actions, are adequately experienced in the aircraft they will be flying, and have all proper certifications and type ratings.

When it comes to the safety of your charter flight, know that Stratos Jet Charters will never, ever cut corners. Which is why, once again, that you should not choose a charter broker based solely on price. The safety and security of you and your fellow passengers MUST be the primary consideration for every charter flight. This is just another aspect of our commitment to you – our invaluable clients!

Your Safety, And The Mission Of Stratos Jet Charters

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Picture yourself in this situation. You’re on a jet that is headed for Minneapolis. Your flight seems unusually long. Then you suddenly realize that your pilots have over-flown the airport by more than an hour. Even scarier still; after landing, you receive word that your pilots may have been asleep during the flight.

For the 144 passengers onboard the Northwest flight 188, this nightmarish vision became a reality. Early reports indicate that the pilots flying the Airbus A320 out of San Diego were not asleep at the wheel, but were engrossed in a new, complicated crew-scheduling system. They were so distracted from their duties that they failed to respond to frantic radio calls from air traffic controllers on the ground in Denver and in Minneapolis.

The incident, which resulted in both pilots losing their licenses, could have been avoided had the pilots been restricted from using laptops during the flight. Currently, no federal rules exist to specifically ban pilots’ use of laptops and other personal electronic devices on flights above 10,000 feet. However, there are rules against unnecessary distractions during a critical phase in flight at any altitude; critical phases include taxi, takeoff and landing.

Furthermore, the pilots were distracted by the confusing crew-scheduling system, a system that should have been figured out on the ground, or by somebody else.

Incidents like these, though seemingly one-in-a-million, serve as proof that an experienced air charter agent is needed to ensure the safety of every FAR Part 135 jet charter flight. Stratos Jets agents evaluate the pilots schedule around the dates of every charter flight. We do this to avoid conflicts that might arise related to FAA duty restrictions or potential risk related to pilot fatigue. Additionally, we make sure that the pilots of your charter aircraft have plenty of experience behind the yoke and are fully alert during your charter flight.

Our personal mission at Stratos Jet Charters is to provide our clients with the safest, most well maintained aircraft, under the command of the most experienced pilots. Our air charter agents are experts in the field of business aviation and we want you to experience the best flight possible. Whether you’re flying from Philadelphia to New York or Paris to Washington D.C., your air charter agent is looking out for you. Since Stratos Jets doesn’t own or operate any aircraft, we spend our time making sure every flight is a safe one.

Differentiating Beyond Price – Your Tool Kit For Making Intelligent Jet Charter Decisions Part 1: Insurance Verification

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Part 1 – Insurance Verification and Your Safety on Jet Charter Flights

In highly competitive markets, many smaller companies seeking to compete will cut corners to offer the lowest price. But cutting corners in aviation could mean the difference in arriving safely, or not. So how does one seeking to charter an aircraft differentiate beyond just price?

Our role as your air charter agent is to identify all relevant aircraft, ensure the proper certification, maintenance and safety of each plane and to create a competitive market for the proposed routing. Which is why as your trusted agent, Stratos Jets has created an educational series, a “tool kit” of information so that you – our deeply valued clients – can possess the means to make the best, most educated decisions when you are chartering your next flight. Our first topic centers on the subject of insurance verification.

Often times you will find that some our competitors are chartering flights that are NOT inclusive of the recommended or required insurance policies necessary. And when you book an aircraft for your customers, boss, or you and your family, don’t you need to be 100% sure that the flight meets your safety standards?

That’s why before every flight, you should demand to see the insurance policy that will be covering your trip. You should also be looking for a minimum of $20 million in coverage for turbo props, and at least $25 million in coverage for jets.

In this way, you can vet the companies and operators you are working with; to ensure that they have the proper insurance required to protect you and your passengers’ well being in every way possible. If they cannot produce this document, that’s your first sign, sadly, that your safety is NOT a top priority to the broker in question!

Stratos Jet Charters requires all flights are ARGUS or WYVERN certified and that the pilots, aircraft and charter operators meet or exceed all FAA requirements. Every one of our flights are operated by Part 135 carriers with exceptional safety records (including no safety breaches in the last 10 years), have pilots with the proper certifications, and the most hours on your specific aircraft and exemplary safety records, and our operators carry reliable and appropriate insurance policies, suitable for the importance of our clients.

At Stratos Jets, our top priority is to ensure your flight is the safest it can be. You won’t find another company more committed to your safety and your security. You should not settle for anything less!
