Entering Business Aviation, Part III: Training Options
Please be aware that the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) do not require that a flight attendant be assigned to an aircraft with fewer than 20 seats onboard. With that being said, it is a good idea -- regardless of federal regulations -- for the person who is in charge of the cabin area to have adequate training. Time for some training! So, you are not sure what type of training you will need or how it compares to the commercial side of aviation. Matt runs the widely popular Corporate Flight Attendant Community website at http. Alteon Training, LLC is a Boeing training company that started cabin attendant training in 2003 while Beyond and Above Corporate Flight Attendant Training got started in 2002.

As a matter of fact manufacturers of business aircraft are quite happy with the market sector and most are completely bullish on their future prospects in the industry. Private jet ownership is really taking off these days. There is much interest in the private transportation sector and jet aircraft business.

Sex in a Cessna, Part III
Now then, your head should be slightly off to the side so you can see around your sexual partner and look for other aviation traffic. In some Cessna's you will find issues with the seats which are all the way to the door and no room for the woman to put her knees, we recommend a pillow underneath your rear end to elevate you so she has the comfort she needs for decent ride as you both join the mile high club. This has only happened to me once, but it can happen, so be careful of that too. It is best to help her guide her feet back over. This article was written using my pen name and for educational and fictional purposes only.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part II
This young man is not a reflection on our FARs-Federal Aviation Regulations, his actions and death are a reflection of what one of the messages of Ayn Rand was trying to say. Wichita KS boomed due to the Ivestment Tax Credit regulations and the city had lots of population to draw from for mechanics, since so many people worked in the aviation factories. Not a direct result of course but if that kid had been able to be active in CAP, Junior ROTC, Boy Scouts Aviation Explorers or the EEA Eagles Program then I bet this would not have happened. Thus composite was brought into general aviation. For the first time general aviation had brought new innovations to aerospace.

Aviation Lawyer: Whether Passenger, Pilot or Owner, You May Need an Aviation Lawyer
Then the FAA, the Federal Aviation Agency, was created. If you or a family member has been the victim of an airplane accident, you should find an Aviation Lawyer (Attorney) to help you. The next step that Aviation Law took was in 1938 with the Civil Aeronautics Act which created a five person panel which dealt with aircraft, facility, and aviation law within the United States. It is important to contact an Aviation Lawyer because of the highly specialized nature of Aviation Law. These accidents are unnecessary and if you or a family member has been a victim of airline negligence or outright, purposeful ignorance, you should contact an Aviation Lawyer who can help you.

Airline Security; Stewardesses The Last Line Of Defense!
However, the current efforts are focused primarily, on simply throwing in more security personnel and making them federal employees, which in reality has done little to actually increase security. Who endangers the safety of co-passengers and the aircraft due to mental disturbances, alcohol consumption, stress or disregard for airline regulations, such as remaining seated during takeoff and landing etc. Perhaps these incidents can be reduced, by enforcing higher penalties and prison terms on those who violate Airline regulations in any manner. This fact has repeatedly been proven by security inspections, where security agents, have boarded aircrafts with weapons and explosives etc. There is also the fact, that the Airlines often have little control over the actual Airport security and close to no-control at foreign Airports.

FAA Intervention in Privatized Space Flight is Ridiculous
Luckily the fractional jet market has taken off, but only after the FAA ditched some of their onerous regulations. The FAA needs to get their heads out of their rears and their fingers out of ours and I am not the only one who knows this. The fact is folks, everything the government touches gets ruined. Although those who study free markets, free enterprise and capitalism were hardly surprised, we all expected it and it makes sense someone like Rutan and Company would be the ones to do it too. There is only one problem with this picture.

Private Jets: 4 Leaders in Fractional Flying
Launched in 2000 as a joint partnership between TAG Aviation, an aircraft management and operations company, and the Cessna Aircraft Company. Fuel surcharges, international taxes, and federal surcharge taxes will also be assessed. Matt Keegan writes on aviation issues and manages two important business aviation sites. Monthly charges will be billed separately and include. When you purchase your share, how long do you actually own that share? Is it renewable and for how much? Is there any additional outlay in capital for you during the time that you own a share.

Laser Beam Guidance for Oshkosh Air Show
The Federal Aviation Administration is devising a method of alerting pilots who enter a restricted airspace to leave immediately. Because general aviation aircraft often fly at relatively low altitudes, today's strongest lasers may pose a threat to the safety of the flight in all flight regimes. The Military would also like to keep general aviation pilots away, so they do not have to shoot them down. This system would be used when the aircraft in question cannot be contacted on VHF voice radio by ATC. According to NORAD officials, the ground-based laser system uses safety-tested low-level beams of alternating green and red laser lights to alert pilots that they are flying without approval in designated airspace.

Preventing Rapid Decompression In Commercial Airliners
Here is a concept worthy of mention about the issues concerning Airline International Terrorists and Guns in the Cockpit and of course Federal Air Marshals. Another idea is to neoprene covered mini Frisbees made of high tech super strength plastic in the pockets of stewardesses, and in the event of a small breach they simply pick them up and toss them towards the hole which will suck them into place. This way bullets in cockpits intended for terrorists will not be an issue with pressure at those altitudes above 10,000 feet. The bottom of the bins would need to be a tad bit stronger such as carbon fiber to withstand the suction, but double strengthened re-enforced plastic, composite or fiberglass coated with rubber ought to work fine. In a 747 this is not too critical as the inlet for the pressurization cabin system is twice the size of a window and the pressurization system could keep up with a breach the size of a window.

Travel Tips:Tips for Safer flying
Aircraft under 30 passengers are not required to be designed and certified under strictest regulations. The atmosphere in the cabin is pressurized to about the same as Denver altitude. Other items such as sharp objects like knives and other seemingly benign objects have been targeted. Common sense should tell you that you shouldn't bring hazardous materials on the aircraft unless they were allowed by the airline and shipped in a proper container. Laws are changing because of the 911 and not complying might end you arrested.

Flying With Your Dog
Different airlines have slightly different regulations, but most airlines follow the same basic set of rules in regards to flying with a dog. The price of this service varies by airline but is usually under $100. This is considerably cheaper in comparison to the pets flying in the cargo hold which is not as safe and which can cost upwards of $300. For instance, if the temperature in the arrival or departure city is hotter than 85 degrees Fahrenheit, pets will not be permitted on the plane. Do not argue with the airline staff, because this is for your dog's safety.

General Aviation Manufacturing is in the Tank; Hang On It is Going to Get Worse
Counties like those in Eastern Europe or China, Mexico and India will take the general aviation industry from the US, but India appears to be the emerging as the most likely winner and they know it. Change is a constant, Outsourcing Jobs, Capital flows, Emerging Markets are a given and this includes the Aviation Manufacturing Sector as we watch the current Migration pick up speed. In America we no longer mine our own raw materials, Iron Ore mines cannot stay in business due to regulations and restrictions, same goes for Gold Mines, Copper, etc. We cannot do that here in the states any longer the costs have become too great and the system of commerce we have created and the blob of bureaucracy is more than the aviation market sector can stand. We see other areas trying to carve out a niche in the aviation manufacturing market cities like Albuquerque, NM and Centennial, CO.

Cactus Fly-In, Casa Grande AZ
A separate company specializing in aircraft washing will have its own washing procedures and can help aviation safety with regards to washing. Fly-ins and air shows like the Cactus Fly-In is a way all of us can show our support for our general aviation business sector. Sure many of these services will be replaced, but the all in one type aviation services business will be tough, airport flight schools may opt out of other type services and concentrate on what they are good at and what is most profitable. We are seeing a recovery in general aviation after many companies, especially FBO at smaller airports were forced out of business. The event seems to be growing every year, much busier this year than last year even though general aviation has suffered due to 9-11.
