Top Reasons to fly private aircraft charter

Executive Air is proud to partner with Wisconsin Aviation, Wisconsin’s premier air charter provider.  With that being said, let’s dive into the benefits of flying private.

Without a doubt, flying has become an integral part of modern society. From business professionals to travel enthusiasts, the speed and convenience of flying helps makes their aspirations a reality. However, even the most avid frequent flyer will admit that the experience isn’t always top-notch. Long lines, trips through security, uncomfortable seating accommodations, and flight delays all contribute to the feeling that air travel isn’t all it could be. However, if you fly by private aircraft charter, you can enjoy the many benefits that flying affords without the hassle and frustration that can come from major airlines.

Convenience - A private aircraft charter provides you with a great deal of convenience. Even with extremely short notice, you can use private charters to hop on a jet and head to your important business meeting, family emergency, or any other engagement. For major airlines, you typically need to reserve your seat weeks or months in advance, and even then, mistakes are costly and frustrating to resolve.

Speed - Because you’re not dealing with the size and bureaucracy of a major airline, there are many instances where you can arrange a direct flight to smaller airports and cities that a major airline can’t justify including on their itinerary. This means you can get where you need to go more quickly and directly. Most travelers remember certain times where they could have reached their destination in a short time if they could have just headed straight there, but their flight had to land in a major city instead. If you value being able to get to your destination quickly, without long waits in the airport, the private aircraft charter is an excellent solution.

Luxury - In essence, you are renting your own jet for an individual trip, similar to how you might hire a limousine on the ground. You might also think of it like a timeshare, but for a jet. Regardless of how you look at it, you can expect luxuries that you just couldn’t find on a commercial airline, such as sleeping quarters, excellent meal catering, Internet/fax machines, etc.

Flexibility - It just isn’t possible to give everyone excellent service on a commercial airline without having at least as many stewardesses as there are passengers. Fortunately, when you fly by private aircraft charter, you receive an unparalleled in-flight customer service experience. You can also choose among a number of different types of jets, from ultra- light up to heavy aircraft.

Reliability - One of the biggest benefits to flying by private aircraft charter is that it can work well with your busy schedule. If you find yourself needing to get somewhere quickly, you can figure out a way to get to your destination with a private charter. The reason why aircraft charters are different is that they take the level of customer service to a whole new level beyond what commercial airlines can achieve. Private jet charter service prides itself on catering to your needs and your schedule. These are just a few reasons why an aircraft charter is a superior means of air travel over commercial airlines. Whether you want to utilize one for business or leisure, a private aircraft charter gives you convenience, speed, luxury, flexibility, reliability and excellent service.

At Executive Air we are true travel professionals with vast expertise in providing a luxury travel experience, making sure every detail of your private air travel is perfect, meeting the highest standards of charter jet travel.

Safety 1st, Let Executive Air KGRB handle your aircraft maintenance needs, whether it’s RVSM Checks, Oil Changes, or Annual Inspections.

Executive Air KGRB and the RVSM goal are to reduce the vertical separation above flight level (FL) 290 from the current 2000-ft minimum to 1000-ft minimum. This will allow aircraft to safely fly more optimum profiles, gain fuel savings and increase airspace capacity. The process of safely changing this separation standard requires a study to assess the actual performance of airspace users under the current separation (2000-ft) and potential performance under the new standard (1000-ft).

Equipment: Air Data Tester, Mode S Transponder

Let us help you with your RVSM and Recertification checks.  Call us at 920-498-4880 or visit our contact us page at www.executiveair.com to schedule an appointment with one or our certified technicians at Executive Air KGRB.

Why you have to change the oil in your aircraft?

The reason we change oil in our aircraft engines every 25 to 50 hours is not because it breaks down. It's because it gets contaminated after 25 to 50 hours in an aircraft engine. In fact, it gets downright filthy and nasty.  Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is a highly corrosive chemical that is produced in copious quantities during combustion. DHMO can cause great harm to costly engine components when it blows by the piston rings and contaminates the engine oil. You may be more familiar with DHMO's common chemical formula: H2O.

Compared with automotive engines, our piston aircraft engines permit a far greater quantity of combustion byproducts -- notably carbon, sulfur, oxides of nitrogen, raw fuel, partially burned fuel, plus massive quantities of the corrosive solvent dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO; see graphic at right) -- to leak past the piston rings and contaminate the crankcase. This yucky stuff is collectively referred to as "blow-by" and it's quite corrosive and harmful when it builds up in the oil and comes in contact with expensive, bottom-end engine parts like crankshafts, camshafts, lifters and gears.

To make matters worse, avgas is heavily laced with the octane improver tetraethyl lead (TEL), which also does nasty things when it blows by the rings and gets into the crankcase.

So one of the most important reasons that we need to change the oil regularly in our Continentals and Lycomings is to get rid of these blow-by contaminants before they build up to levels that are harmful to the engine's health.

Safety 1st, Let Executive Air KGRB handle your Annual Inspections.


Any reciprocating engine or single-engine turbojet/turbopropeller-powered small aircraft (12,500 pounds and under) flown for business or pleasure and not flown for compensation or hire is required to be inspected at least annually. The inspection shall be performed by a certificated airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic who holds an inspection authorization (IA) by the manufacturer of the aircraft or by a certificated and appropriately rated repair station. The aircraft may not be operated unless the annual inspection has been performed within the preceding 12 calendar months. A period of 12 calendar months extends from any day of a month to the last day of the same month the following year. An aircraft overdue for an annual inspection may be operated under a Special Flight Permit issued by the FAA for the purpose of flying the aircraft to a location where the annual inspection can be performed. However, all applicable ADs that are due must be complied with before the flight.

Safety 1st, Let Executive Air KGRB handle your 100-Hour Inspection

All aircraft under 12,500 pounds (except turbojet/turbopropeller-powered multi-engine airplanes and turbine powered rotorcraft), used to carry passengers for hire, must have received a 100-hour inspection within the preceding 100 hours of time in service and have been approved for return to service. Additionally, an aircraft used for flight instruction for hire, when provided by the person giving the flight instruction, must also have received a 100-hour inspection. This inspection must be performed by an FAA-certificated A&P mechanic, an appropriately rated FAA-certificated repair station, or by the aircraft manufacturer. An annual inspection, or an inspection for the issuance of an Airworthiness Certificate may be substituted for a required 100-hour inspection. The 100-hour limitation may be exceeded by not more than 10 hours while en route to reach a place where the inspection can be done. The excess time used to reach a place where the inspection can be done must be included in computing the next 100 hours of time in service.
