Flight attendants are a special breed of worker. Constantly under pressure, flight attendants can keep a smile on their faces while dealing with countless challenging individuals and soaring along at 30,000 feet. It takes special training and a strong personality to become a professional flight attendant, and when you interact with the right ones, they can make your flight experience a most rewarding one.
The flight attendant community extends beyond traditional airlines, and these dedicated people who work as third-party crewmembers can provide their services on charters and private jets. Corporate flight attendants can be contracted for single flights or hired on as permanent crew members.
If you own a business that contracts private jet charters, or you maintain an aviation service requires temporary, part-time or full-time flight attendants, you definitely must consider hiring corporate flight attendants to provide for and accommodate the necessary safety and security services, as well as providing professional in-flight hospitality. Corporate flight attendants are well-trained in in-flight training, high-end passenger service, food preparation, safety, emergency response, CPR, and other essential services.
So if you are a business professional who regularly operates with private jets and charters, you must seriously consider these professional third crewmembers to provide for your air travel necessities on your next trip. |

Aircraft marshalling is a method of visual signalling between ground personnel and pilots on an airport, aircraft carrier or helipad.
As opposed to radio communications between the aircraft and air traffic control, marshalling is a one-on-one visual communication and a vital part of aircraft ground handling. The usual attire of a marshaller is a reflecting safety vest, a helmet with acoustic earmuffs, and illuminated beacons or gloves.

A bird strike simulator, you might have guessed, simulates the impact of a bird with an aircraft. This is of particular importance as many planes are traveling 160 mph or faster soon after takeoff, near where birds may be flying. When a bird strikes an aircraft, it is physically similar to the aircraft being hit with a 2 to 5 lb (1 to 2 kg) projectile at 160 mph (260 km/h 1:1 feet/birds) or faster.
Bird strike incidents aren't limited to takeoff. The International Bird Strike Committee has reported that although 75% of all incidents take place below 500 feet, the world height record for a strike is 37,000 feet.

A flight ceiling is the upper altitudinal limit at which any aircraft may fly given its mechanical abilities. For aviation purposes, ceiling is defined as the height (AGL) of the lowest broken or overcast layer aloft or vertical visibility into an obscuration. Refer to Aviation Weather Manual AC 00-6A.
The term service ceiling refers to the height at which an aircraft's rate of climb, under standard atmospheric conditions, is 100 ft or 30 metres per minute.
The ceiling also refers to the height of the lowest cloud layer above the ground, below which Visual meteorological conditions exist, permitting flight by visual flight rules. For example, a layer of overcast or broken clouds having a base of 3,000 ft. above the ground would constitute a ceiling of 3,000 ft. The absence of any overcast or broken cloud layers is referred to as an "unlimited" ceiling. |
