This new regulation will ensure that the same pilot licensing requirements and related high safety levels apply in all Member States.

This ‘Opinion’ covers requirements for pilot licensing for aeroplanes, helicopters, airships, powered-lift aircraft, sailplanes and balloons. Measures to ensure a smooth transition to the new rules are also provided. As requested by the European Parliament in its Agenda for Sustainable General and Business Aviation, the newly developed Light Aircraft Pilot Licence, which is part of the new regulation, will facilitate the access to aviation for a broader public while maintaining a high level of safety.

EASA’s proposal was initially open to public consultation from June 2008 to February 2009. Over 8,000 comments were received from a wide range of stakeholders and this feedback was taken into account and integrated in this ‘Opinion’.

The new regulation on Flight Crew Licensing will be adopted by the European Commission and enter info force as Community law by April 2012.

Researchers at the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center fuels facility tested Swift’s fuel to determine if there were “any initial major engine performance-related findings that would prevent further research into the use of a Swift binary blend of these components.” After 150 hours of testing in a six-cylinder Lycoming engine, the FAA reported that the engine experienced normal levels of engine wear and that combustion, oil, and fuel deposits were light.

Swift met the anti-knock parameters of current avgas specifications in a previous FAA test, one important measure of a fuel. In the most recent research, the blend met many current aviation gasoline specifications for 100LL and had more energy per gallon than leaded avgas, but had slightly reduced energy per pound (because it weighs a pound more per gallon) and did not meet certain other performance parameters. The FAA tested the fuel in a Lycoming IO540-K, 300-horsepower, piston engine. When the engine was warm, it started immediately, but it was difficult to start the engine the mornings after it was left to sit overnight.

The FAA research facility works closely with FAA certification officials, the Coordinating Research Council, ASTM International (which sets industry consensus standards), and the coalition of avgas stakeholders. This testing is an important step in the evaluation of a potential future unleaded avgas, but the FAA was careful to note that it does not approve fuels. Further testing may address how a biomass blend would differ from the petroleum-based blend, how residual lead in engines that have been burning 100LL would affect performance, and more.

This quoting tool provides quick and easy access via Facebook to instant charter quotes for Desert Jet’s entire charter fleet, as well as the ability to request a reservation with a click of the mouse. The online quoting tool integrates the popular Google maps API, allowing charter clients the ability to visually select the best departure and arrival airports. After the routing is entering into the quoting tool, a full graphical map display of the proposed trip routing is shown, along with details of the trip and estimated costs.

“Time is very important to our clients,” said Denise Wilson, President of Desert Jet. “They want to be able to plan their trips and make a reservation on their schedule, and want the option to use online technology when feasible. This new feature provides yet another way for our clients to connect with us in the way they prefer, around the clock, every day of the year.”

Just last month, Yankee Group Research released a report showing that most consumers want to interact with businesses over social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. The problem is that only 30% of businesses are prepared to do so. Desert Jet is expanding its use of social media through sites such as Twitter, Facebook and its blog, www.palmspringsjetcharter.com, to keep in touch with its clients.

Desert Jet also offers a toll-free phone number that connects directly to the charter and dispatch departments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for clients that prefer to reserve their flights by phone.
