Air Charter Advisors is a Private Aviation Consulting firm. Our priority is passenger Safety, Privacy, and Comfort.
Throughout our years in Business / General Aviation Industry we have had various questions by current clients, and potential flyers, so we decided on creating a RU-vid Channel to answer many of these FAQ's through video. Never hesitate to call or email us your questions about Private Jet Charter, Turbo Prop Air Charters, Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions, along with Aircraft Management Solutions.
Yes, you are absolutely correct! The Aerostar 600 was the twin piston version. Piper made a 601 version that was still piston driven but turbocharged. Then the big brother the 700! Thanks for the comment.
If I won the lottery I would buy one of these used and hire my own pilot so if I travel I can call the pilot and travel anywhere me and mom would probably be able to fly to Europe on vacation and I can go to see dad in Kansas City in it or if mom needed to go to see family in Michigan she could travel in style it would be a nice family travel plane of course it would be paid off so then it would be cheaper to fly in that instead of paying big bucks to fly first class in an airline jet
I have two teenage kids with Duchenne’s who cannot be removed from their personal chairs. They also rely on hoist track system in the house/bathroom needs.. Does anyone know if there are any planes in the world that could accommodate? I would like to know as I’ve been looking a long time and nothing so far.. even if I win £100m on the lottery, doesn’t appear to be able to purchase anything suitable. Society is so ableist.. hoists etc often not suitable, functioning or charged.. would be nice to see more inclusion. This is a great step, but it’s nothing compared to what’s needed.
Sure does! Sorry for not catching that on the video. We try and make the videos very short and to the point, but this plane certainly has a fully enclosed bathroom including a sink!
@@noone-el5wk This plane is not meant for long range flights. It is terrific for trips under 4 hours. We do have access to many great alternatives that have berthable couches and club configuration arrangements that with special inserts, become flat for bedding. Feel free to reach out to us via our website or email and we can help!
Your Aviation Vlog is just awesome, amazing, wonderful, encouraging, energetic and informative. Stay connected and keep sharing. Thank you very much for sharing the video. I am watching from New Delhi, India.
I’m waiting for the day I can drive my power chair onto a plane and stay in the chair without having to sit in an uncomfortable seat without proper support and cushioning. It’s not getting onto the plane which makes travel for people in wheelchairs difficult, it’s the transfers from our own chair to an aisle chair, then to a plane seat and back again the other way. The likely hood of skin damage, bone damage and the discomfort of sitting in a airline seat, make long distance travel a nightmare. I was looking up wheelchair accessible planes, in the hope that a private jet would exist that was modified in a way to allow for easy travel but it appears to not exist.
It is quite unfortunate, however this is in the hands of the aircraft manufacturers, the powered chair manufacturers, and the FAA/DOT. They would all need to get together and collaborate to make this a reality. At this time there is no safe way to accomplish this due to the sheer weight of each powered chair, the battery systems, and finding a way to safely attach an individuals' chair to a plane interior so that it does not become a 400-500 lb.+ projectile during flight. Thankfully we do have access to this amazing plane which is featured in the video, and although it is not suitable for every passenger, it is extremely helpful to many out there who are unable to climb up steps or walk at all.
It will start with the FAA taking a stronger stance on accessibility. Bombardier, Gulfstream, Bell, etc have smart enough engineers to work it out once they have a market for it. Even the boeings and airbuses can be made for it. It's just a numbers game. It costs a lot more than people realize to make a plane takeoff ready, fly it, and land it. A board driven airline isn't going to be quick to accept a CEO giving up revenue generating space for accessibility unless they are impacted by it themselves. Same for the manufacturer to invest money into making AdA compliant aircraft.
Michael, we do wish that all owners would install this system! It is a fabulous system to have. However the system is extremely expensive to install and the planes are generally all privately owned. The individual aircraft owners may not need this system for their own family/business associates/guests so for them to install it would just be for clients that are chartering. This is one of a kind!
Pilarchuck, there is no need for a manual as the crew will handle all of the technical aspects of operating the lift for the client. Please feel free to reach out directly to us if you have any further questions we can assist with!
Question is, how long does it take to get the food ready? Especially if you want to take off within an hour?will you have food on the plane waiting for you?
Hi Anthony! Great question. It will all depend on the size of the plane and amenities offered within. The food is generally prepared prior to the trip departing and re-heated in the plane upon serving when necessary. We use top quality catering companies and the food is exceptional. Some aircraft have microwaves, some have a "slot oven". In the larger aircraft food can be ready in just a few minutes after take off. Items served cold such as fruit / cheese platters or a vegetable crudité would be served immediately.
Sorry for the very late reply! The lift system was built with a tolerance really just for up to 400 lbs combined weight between passenger / chair. Additionally, the lift plate is not very wide. Generally speaking, the manual chair that flies with the plane is the one used to board. Any powered chair/scooter is subject to review.
Yep, that's what I heard. Reminded me of the time the pilot of a Lear 35 or 45 at our local airport said, "Go ahead, you can get in and take a look." I check the restroom & was surprised that the sink was the size of one of my stainless steel mixing bowls at home, just big enough to get both my fists into . . . I guess I'll need to get a bigger jet in order to get a bigger sink . . . when I win the super lotto . . .
Yes it's fast but very uncomfortable compared to competitors would much rather fly from New York to L.A. in Cessnas New longitude or a challenger 350 also either of the Praetors will get you there comfortably might take extra 10 -20 minutes but they are enjoyable
Very narrow fuselage seats don't swivel or move narrow deep alleyway between seats instead of flat floor shoulder scrunch seats facing each other to close together torture chamber compared to modern plane
The Citation X is an awesome plane for trips back and forth across the country. You are 100% correct though. If someone is willing to spend additional money for their trip we can upgrade them to a wide body like the Challenger 350. It will be substantially more comfortable. It does however come with that higher price tag for the flight.
Hi Ryan! Thanks for asking. That is not smoke you see :) This film was taken in Miami, FL prior to boarding some passengers. The crew was blasting the air conditioning for the passengers before they arrived so that the cabin temperature was comfortable as the door was open. When an airplane is running the air conditioning system there is a large difference in temperature between the cabin interior and outside temperature. The humidity essentially turns into water droplets and looks like a fog or dew. You will find this in almost all airplanes (private jets and commercial jets) when the A/C is blasting during the warmer seasons. Hope this helps!
