Corporate Jets Key Terms


If your business owns or charters corporate jets, then it's important to know some of the language used in connection with corporate jets. While not as large as jets used by commercial airlines, corporate jets are still complex machines with their own industry-specific language that may sound foreign to those unfamiliar with it. If your company charters corporate jets, then knowing key terms related to corporate jets may help you negotiate a better charter contract.

Air charter broker

An air charter broker acts as the middleman between the person or business chartering a corporate jet and the owners of a corporate jet.

Federal Aviation Administration

The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, governs almost everything relating to any airplanes, including corporate jets. Pilots, crew, mechanics and aircraft owners all fall under the FAA's jurisdiction.

Airframe and powerplant mechanics

Airframe and powerplant mechanics repair and maintain corporate jets. You can find an airframe and powerplant mechanic at your local airport. If you own more than one corporate jet, then your company may opt to hire a full-time airframe and powerplant mechanic.

Visual flight rules

Visual flight rules, or VFR, refer to how a pilot should fly when the pilot can see at least five miles and the ceiling is 3,000 feet or higher. Many pilots use the term VFR when they don't have to use the instruments alone to navigate.

Instrument flight rules

Instrument flight rules, or IFR, refer to weather conditions that do not meet VFR minimums. Both the pilot and the corporate jet being flown must be certified to fly in IFR conditions. Most corporate jets and their pilots have IFR certifications.

Flight instruments

Flight instruments include the altimeter, attitude indicator, turn coordinator, vertical speed indicator, airspeed indicator and heading indicator.
