SAFETY IN PRIVATE AVIATION: INTERESTING FACTS

BigDeal Jet – Private Jet Charter Services

2 Pilots on Board
Even on the smallest private jets, there are always two pilots on board. While an aircraft owner may legally fly privately with a single pilot, charter flights operated for external clients are required to have a two-pilot crew, regardless of the size of the aircraft. This allows pilots to share responsibilities, monitor each other’s actions, and respond more effectively in any unexpected situation.

Each Pilot Eats a Different Meal

Few people know that pilots, especially on longer flights, are often served different meals. This is a precautionary safety measure. If one pilot were to become unwell due to food poisoning, the other pilot would remain fully capable of safely operating the aircraft.

Additional Training Beyond a Commercial Pilot License

A commercial pilot license alone is not enough to fly a private jet. Pilots must also complete specialized training and obtain a type rating for each specific aircraft model they operate. This means that pilots cannot simply switch between different aircraft types without the required certification and training.

An Open Cockpit During the Flight

Interestingly, unlike commercial airline flights, the cockpit in private aviation is often open during the flight. Passengers can observe the crew at work and enjoy a more personal flying experience.

Business aviation is one of the safest forms of travel, thanks to the strict regulations, extensive pilot training, and professional operating procedures that govern every flight.
