PRIVATE JET AND AIR CHARTER SAFETY
Your safety is our top priority. Our goal is to provide the safest private flying experience for you and your guests. We require all operators, aircraft, and pilots to follow applicable certifications, inspections, and insurance. Below are some of our private jet and air charter safety requirements.
Our Operating Standards and Flight Safety Policies
Our private jet and air charter safety requirements have been developed to exceed industry standards.
Operator Requirements
What are Linear Air's criteria and requirements for operators?
Our operators are subject to regulation under FAA 14 CFR 135 in the US and other governmental regulations elsewhere.
Do you have your own standards in addition to governmental regulations?
Operators must meet minimum insurance requirements and demonstrate their aircraft conform to application regulations.
What are your insurance requirements for operators?
Operators must demonstrate insurance as required by governmental regulation, specifically aircraft charter liability insurance as required for Part 135 operators.
Our Plane Standards
All planes we offer are technically advanced aircraft that follow the required safety standards and aircraft maintenance programs.
What specific certifications are required for planes?
FAA and governmental private jet and air charter safety regulations require aircraft to be inspected before being place in commercial service in order to confirm compliance with applicable equipment and maintenance requirements. Commercial aircraft are inspected more frequently than private aircraft in order to confirm continued airworthiness.
What safety systems and technology are required?
Most aircraft are Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) with equipment including:
- Advanced Autopilots
- Traffic alerting systems
- Terrain avoidance systems
- Satellite weather links and onboard weather avoidance systems
Our Pilot Standards
What are your standards for pilots?
Pilot standards vary by aircraft type:
- Piston props and some turboprops require only a Commercial Instrument certificate at a minimum.
- Jets and some turboprops require an Airline Transport Pilot certificate and training in the specific type of aircraft (e.g., Cessna Citation, Gulfstream g550, etc).
- The minimum flight time for Commercial Instrument rating is 1200 hours, and 1500 hours for Airline Transport Pilot certification.
International Aviation Safety Authorities
Flight from MMU to JAC
"Our flight was easy and the pilots nice and professional. We have already recommended you to friends who flew to Nantucket with you over the holiday weekend. Many thanks, Miriam"
Flight from 39N to WWD
"So glad we found LinearAir. My wife is not comfortable driving on highways, so the taxi from Princeton to Cape May is a perfect solution. Pilots and ground staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks!"
Flight from HOU to PBG
"Flight could not have been better - everything from arrival, meeting the awesome pilots, actual flight and arrival could not have been better."
CALL US 1-877-2-LINEAR
The commercial options for 4 people and trade show luggage from Long Beach to San Luis Obispo... lordy... This made it an incredible no-brainer, as Linear Air actually came in *cheaper* than the commercial options. We would have had to stay an extra night, then either get up to LAX for a late afternoon direct flight, or down to SNA for an early morning connection through PHX.
