Take-Off

When precipitation is falling, special procedures must be followed to have the wings and tail free of contamination before takeoff. Contamination causes a distorted airflow, which leads to a loss of lift and control. De-icing is an essential step. Once passengers have boarded the aircraft, the captain taxis to a de-icing station where trucks and ground service personnel spray hot glycol onto the wings and other crucial surfaces. Once all the ice has melted, a special fluid is applied that prevents ice from reforming on the wing. This fluid is only effective for a specific amount of time and the plane must be airborne before this time expires or return for de-icing again. During the flight, airliners have de-icing systems to prevent ice from building up on the wings. Most jets use hot air from the engine compressors to keep the wings heated. Engine inlets are also heated by engine compressor air, preventing ice from impacting the airflow into the engines. Windshields, much like car defrosts, are electrically headed.

Landing

Airliners have very effective braking systems with anti-skid. They are equipped with reverse thrust and panels on the wing to kill lift, transferring the weight to the wheels for braking. It is part of the requirements to prove that every jet airliner can safely stop on a runway contaminated with snow, ice, or rain. These demonstrations provide pilots with the landing distance needed to safely stop in adverse weather. With well-trained and experienced pilots and ground staff, we fly safely in challenging winter weather every year.

Other Options for Winter Travel

During the winter months, it may be worth it to invest in private jet charters. Even while airlines are inevitably grounded, it is likely that private jets keep passengers moving because of the greater flexibility and airport options. Fast and easy to set up, all you have to do is call 1-888-722-0776 and let the experts help you from there!

The post How Airplanes Are Prepared for Winter Weather appeared first on Flex Air Charters.

Cabin Oxygen Levels:

Some people believe that the cabins’ oxygen levels are kept deliberately low to calm passengers into a lethargic state. However, that concept could not be farther from the truth. According to the founder of Holidayers travel website and pilot, Dan Boland, “pilots share the same air as passengers, so if this were true, we’d be falling asleep too”. In reality, the reason for feeling sleepy has more to do with in-flight fatigue, boredom, motion, and the cabin pressurization makes it slightly more difficult for human lungs to utilize oxygen.

Electronic Devices Can Cause a Crash:

There has never been a documented situation in which an electrical device has interfered with the plane’s navigation system. Even some private jets have Wi-Fi onboard. So why do so many airlines ask you to turn off devices during the flight? The Federal Communications Commission has banned all use of mobile devices on planes, but not because it interferes with navigation. Phones are banned because the signal bounces of numerous phone towers at the same time and clogs up the ground networks. It also helps to ensure that all passengers are tuned-in to the safety briefing or to ensure that devices are not thrown around the plane during turbulence.

Planes Flying Themselves:

It is a common misunderstanding that autopilot means the plane is flying itself. However, this is not the case at all! An autopilot is essentially an advanced form of a GPS. It provides input and support regarding direction and position, but there is always a human in control of the airplane!

Get Drunk Faster On a Plane:

Most people are still under the impression that alcohol has more potency at higher altitudes. This myth stems from the idea that with lower oxygen levels, the body does not metabolize alcohol as well, making it easier to get intoxicated. However, according to the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), planes are not pressurized to sea level, so there is less oxygen in the air, making it likely to get dehydrated faster. Therefore, enjoying a few drinks while in the air will not leave you completely inebriated, but it is important to stay hydrated!

Cabin Air Can Make You Sick:

Been sick after flying? A majority of people seem to believe that airplanes recycle their air, spreading germs from sick passengers. However, these aircraft have hospital-grade filtration systems that remove over 95% of germs from the air. These filtration systems are known as High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA), which can replace air up to 30 times per hour. Although the air in the cabins is clean, they are only cleaned once a day. This means that it’s still worth it to bring antibacterial gel as seats, trays, and buckles can still have germs.

Lightning Can Take a Plane Down:

Modern jets are now built to withstand strikes of lightning. Thanks to the lightning wicks that are built into the wings and tail, electricity is dissipated. You won’t even feel the plane get hit.

Planes Dump Toilets Mid-Flight:

This nasty rumor is nothing but straight false information. Due to the environmental impacts, there is no way that a plane would ever dump feces into mid-air, otherwise, they also run a risk of navigation issues if something got stuck to the aircraft. This bizarre myth is proved to be nothing more as the FAA requires lavatory dumping to be done at the airport.

Little Holes in the Windows are a Threat:

On the contrary to popular belief, the little hole in the windows are only there to regulate cabin pressure. There is absolutely no way to be sucked out of a plane, even with an unplanned hole such as one made with a bullet. Boland says, “You’d have a rush of air into the cabin, followed by oxygen masks dropping. Then you’d notice it getting colder and louder. But that’s it”.

Plane Doors Can Open Mid-Flight:

Rest assured, the doors will not open mid-flight. The cabin pressure simply will not let you. Opening the door mid-flight would require superhuman strength. Leave this myth for the movies!

You Have to be Rich to Fly Private:

Another common myth with aerial travel is that you have to be rich to rent a private jet. Even though it is advertised as luxurious deluxe, private flights tend to be more affordable for frequent travelers than a commercial flight. With private jet charters, not only do you get to avoid the long lines for security and boarding, but you also get to arrange the pickup and arrival times to fit your itinerary. You can often find some of the best deals with empty leg flights. An empty leg flight is offered when a passenger takes a one-way flight and the aircraft is scheduled for the return flight empty. These seats are often sold with a hefty discount. It may not be easy to find one of these deals on your own, but that is where Flex Air Charters can step in to set you up with the most convenient, certified operators for your travels. We strive to make it a quick and easy process while delivering exceptional service!

Expectations of Private Fliers

Private flyers are looking for range, the distance a plane can fly, followed by affordable operations, cabin size, speed, cabin amenities, and technology. The age of the aircraft is not significant. Fifty-three percent of flights transport three to five passengers, 27% carry two passengers, and 8% transport just one person. Most flights are under 1,500 miles, followed by flights under 500 miles. Lastly, only six percent of passengers fly 3,000 miles or more. This shows that fewer people are taking off to the French Riviera. Most are flying for business within the US. Since private jets fly at the same speed as commercial flights, most private jets arrive earlier because they don’t have unexpected delays of airport congestion to deal with.  For flights under two hours, private jets can reduce total travel time by more than half. North America is where business aviation is most popular, perhaps as a result of the distances. In the US, private flights account for 71% of all flights compared to Western Europe at 9%, Asia Pacific at 4% and South America at 3%. Even so, only 7% of Americans use private jets for intercontinental flights. Meanwhile, 52% of travelers don’t order catering and 24% don’t have flight attendants. As for favorite private jet brands, 76% of travelers prefer Boeing BBJs. Yet in the ultra-long-range jets category, 62% prefer Gulfstreams G650/650ER, while the G450 was the most popular large-cabin private jet. Also, 34% prefer the Bombardier Challenger 300/350 in super-midsize cabin jets, and 34% prefer the Cessna Citation Latitude in midsize jets. The Embraer’s Phenom 300 was the most popular among light jets while the Cessna Citation 525 M2 was the most popular in the very light jet category. Finally, 74% preferred the Beechcraft King Air in twin turboprops and 63% preferred the Pilatus PC-12 in single-engine turboprops.
