Flying internationally for the first time can make some pilots apprehensive, especially for pilots that haven’t flown over water before, but with a little extra planning and some additional paperwork you will find flying over “The Pond” to be a safe, hassle free, enjoyable experience.
Executive Air takes pride when handling your aircraft. All our Line Service Technicians are trained and certified under the rigorous standards of the National Air Transportation Association’s Safety 1st Program, (NATA certified). Executive Air offers complete maintenance capabilities for line services, inspections, repairs and support.
We would recommend prior to international travel that pilots confirm that you have all your standard aircraft and pilot documents that are required for any flight; a pilot certificate, a current medical, and airworthiness certification. Have your “permanent” aircraft registration certificate (required for international traveling), operating limitations with weight and balance for the aircraft. You will also need a radiotelephone operator’s license for you and a radio station license for the aircraft when traveling internationally. Also confirm with your insurance agent that you will be insured in country you will be traveling to. If going over any body of water the U.S. Coast Guard requires life jackets for each occupant and recommends a life boat.
When first landing into a foreign country or returning back to the United States, it must be an airport of entry and it is the pilots responsibility to inform the customs officials prior to arrival. If your flight is one hour or less, call the customs office at your destination before takeoff to assure at least one-hour notice. Finally, carry proof of citizenship for all crew and passengers.
