Anyone familiar with aviation weather can tell you that the difference between normal weather and aviation weather is vast indeed. When flying in an aircraft, the type of weather that you deal with is critical to understand and can cause all manner of different problems for the pilot. Climbing to a certain altitude can be complicated by all manner of different factors, including turbulence. Dealing with aviation weather can mean all manner of difficulties for the responsible pilot. With the unpredictability of aviation weather, it can be very difficult for the pilot to make the call as to whether or not it is safe to fly. By making the effort to understand everything about aviation weather possible, those who are responsible for the lives of others can tip the odds in their favor and make sure that they do not make the mistake of flying in dangerous conditions. Naturally, anyone who is aware of the difficulty of flying in bad aviation weather will want to wait until there are more favorable conditions before taking off.

Anyone who has delved into the industry of aviation is already very likely familiar with aviation safety and the critical importance of this type of training. Without taking the time to receive the proper aviation safety training, the individual will be unable to competently function in the aviation world. By focusing on aviation safety training, the aviation industry itself becomes safer and safer, allowing all manner of activities that would be impossible otherwise. Without the strong levels of aviation safety training, pilots would not be able to fly, air traffic controllers would not be able to do their jobs and the skies would be deadly battlegrounds of accidents waiting to happen. Fortunately, in the United States and elsewhere, there are strict aviation safety regulations that are required to be followed by everyone who goes up in the air in any type of aircraft. Even passengers and customers are required to learn some of these different types of aviation safety procedures in order to ensure that they are capable of at least saving themselves if the unthinkable should happen and an accident should occur.

Could you imagine if people had to get on the scales today!

The heavier a plane and its cargo, the more fuel it needs to fly. Airlines were never more aware of that fact than last year when the cost of fuel skyrocketed. These extra fuel costs were partly offset by a new fee charged by the airlines for checked luggage, as well as rules that changed the size of carry-on bags passengers are allowed to use. Some passengers complained about the new baggage fee and wondered if this was going to cause airlines to charge more for heavier customers.

The airlines say they aren’t going to start weighing customers, but if they did it would really be nothing new. Anyone who flew in the 30s or 40s was likely weighed with his or her bags before boarding the plane. Of course, back when commercial flight was new airlines calculated exactly how much the plane would weigh for logistic reasons.

They allowed 135 pounds for the single stewardess aboard and about 120 pounds for small items on the plane from everything from pillows to magazines. These were added to the weight of the plane itself. Then each passenger and his bags were weighed and added to the total. They had to know how much the plane and its cargo weighed to make sure the plane could actually take off and sustain flight.

The practice of weighing passengers ended in the 1950s, but even though you may not be aware of it, your weight it still assessed when you board a plane. Airlines use tables for estimating weight, put out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA updated the tables in 2005 so that they estimate 200 pounds for an average man and 179 pounds for an average woman. Five pounds are added starting in November until April to account for bulkier cold-weather clothes. The FAA plans to revise the tables again if a consensus of United States government health agencies decides that society on a whole gets heavier by two percent.

Recently, when top executives of the Big 3 auto makers flew on their business aircraft to make an appeal for bailout money from Congress, the expense of flying on private planes in the face of their obvious financial crisis was questioned. NBAA Members, who have long understood the place business aviation holds in modern commerce, were quick to answer the media’s questions.

The next time the Big 3 traveled to make an appeal, however, they took other transportation. Though the executives’ use of business aircraft wasn’t so much the issue as their use of it at a time when they were threatening bankruptcies that could cripple the nation’s economy further, the misconceptions many people hold about the use of private aircraft became clear during the national debate over the issue.

The generally held belief that only the most wealthy and high-powered executives running major corporations were the ones to ever use business aircraft was countered by the NBAA’s explanation that most business aircraft, about 85 percent in fact, were used by small businesses, mid-size businesses and non-profit organizations. The NBAA also proved another widely held belief to be a myth—that only CEOs rode on these private aircraft. They explained that 86 percent of those who regularly fly on business airplanes are not CEOs, but salespeople and other mid-level employees.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as of May 18, will now require the security measures followed by commercial international flights arriving in or departing from the United States, to be followed by smaller, business aircraft flying internationally, as well. Currently, business flights submit the Private Aircraft Enforcement System Arrival Report (Form 178) to the United States Customs and Border Protection Department (CBP) when making an international flight. Submission of this form is no longer necessary under the new regulations.

Now, 60 minutes before such an aircraft leaves the United States or arrives, the general aviation operators (GA) are required to provide a complete manifest of all passengers as well as information regarding the owner and operator of the aircraft. The CBP requires that the operators supply this information through the electronic Advanced Passenger Information System, otherwise referred to as eAPIS. Operators may also transfer the information through a third party who can send the information online, if they have no Internet access.

A top provider of aviation systems, products, and services has officially predicted that over the next ten years, new aircraft sales alone will reach the $300 billion dollar mark. Last year was the fifth year in a row that the business aviation industry expanded rather than contracted, with new aircraft manufacture and delivery up over 20% more than in 2007. It’s believed that 2009 will continue the trend.

These are record-setting sales of new aircraft, which might be surprising giving the economic crises in the world today. But the need to remain competitive in an already competitive market prompts many airlines to start replacing their fleet to woo new customers, despite the economic downturn. The age of planes plays a part, as do newer and better avionics, but many order newer, state-of-the-art planes mainly for the more spacious cabins. An increasingly global economy drives the industry, and the need to cater to its customers.

Still, if the prediction for an increase in business aviation sales in 2009 seems like mere optimism, then look at the facts. Right now, top manufacturers have a backlog equaling two to three years of standard deliveries, so just the fulfillment of those waiting orders are sure to make 2009 another record-breaker for the business aviation industry.
