FBO Private Charter In St. Charles Missouri

Dryfuss Mohoney, FBO private charter expert.

We are on location at St. Charles Municipal Airport just outside downtown St. Charles, Missouri. And you know, it's pretty simple to get involved with executive air travel, but there's a few things that you need to know. First of all, if you're an executive, and you need to travel in your own plane, a few things to consider. Number one; you can either go ahead and purchase a plane and a crew, or you could purchase a plane and then hire your own crew. But most importantly, you could also have some other options, such as a time share. If you only travel four to six weeks out of the year, consider a time share. Or, you could just consider an outright charter, where you go ahead, and you go ahead and rent an aircraft as needed, plus the crew, and everything you need aboard for your comfort. Another option that you have, my friends, is to absolutely just outright purchase a private jet for your executive travel needs, but keep in mind that's going to require a crew. It could be a bit costly. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it.

Learn To Fly For Private Charter Companies

David Martin for Show Me Air Taxi and I'm here at the Spirit Of Saint Louis Airport just outside of Saint Louis, Missouri.

I've been flying professionally for about 13 years, and now I have the pleasure of flying this Gulfstream G450 which is a lot of fun and exciting. And today I'm going to talk to you about becoming a pilot. So you've decide you wanted to get into corporate or private charter or what they call flying private aircraft, private jets. You're going to most likely start off in the right seat of some sort of smaller jet or turboprop aircraft with an individual company. And you'll do this for a year or 2 before you would upgrade to their captain in that aircraft. Or you might move up as a co-pilot into a larger aircraft if they have other aircraft in the company. And just to differentiate. Private charter essential means people can rent out the airplane -- where corporate aviation means you're flying for an individual company. You don't necessarily get airline benefits when you're flying corporate or charter. But there are benefits such as you get hotel points and you get enough points that it usually allows you to go on a vacation about once a year or so with these points. And that's assuming you actually want to travel anywhere at that point because you do it for a living! But once you are ready to upgrade, if you want to fly for a private charter company as a captain they will require your ATP (airline transport pilot) certification, you need to be minimum 23 years of age, 1,500 hours of flight time. And if you have that you can be legally be a captain for a charter company.
