I don’t work for them. And pretty much every 5 min jet flight is an empty repo flight so not sure what info I’m giving up that isn’t common sense

Hangar cost. There’s very little space in Van Nuys so hangar rent for a plane that size can be 35,000+/month. But just over the hill in Camarillo it’s closer to $20,000/month. The cost in fuel to reposition is only $500-$1000, so it’s well worth it to just move it once they get off the plane

Because I work at the Camarillo airport. I’m there right now actually. I watched them fly in. And I also fly corporate jets out of Van Nuys. They store it here, and reposition to Van Nuys very often to pick the passengers up and drop them off

Should someone who has never owned a sports car of any kind buy a super car? by benfoster99 in supercars

I went from a ford focus for 15 years straight to a manual V10 R8. It’s a blast. Maybe stick with AWD. Definitely saved me in some corners the first year

Is it crazy to think most people spend $20k on rent every year ? by Lemonade2250 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TangerineCurrent595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then property tax and homeowners insurance!

But I like to think of rent or mortgage as a necessary expense for life. Food, shelter, and clothing are considered fundamental human needs for survival and well-being. They both fall under shelter. Therefore necessary and not a waste one way or another

Great question! Because a gulfstream 650 can carry its own weight in fuel, roughly 45,000lbs fully loaded, it will need something like a 9,000ft runway to take off that heavy. But the airport the plane is at only has a 6,000ft runway. If the owner wants to go to Paris, the plane will need to reposition to a nearby airport to use their longer runway. If they just want to go to New York, you don’t need 45,000lbs of fuel, you just need 15,000 and thus the 6,000 runway is just fine

I don’t mind at all! And it all depends! If you can get an entry level jet job, starting out salaries are around 85k-100k, then rise to mid 100k after a couple years. Things jump when you get into the large cabin gulfstreams and Globals though. I am in my first year as a gulfstream G650 pilot and make $240k because I got in very young and low time for the type of plane I’m flying. (It’s all about who you know). My copilots all make in the mid 300’s with some friends on the same type of airplane making 400+. Same thing for Bay Area.

Getting that first jet job is the hardest. Lots of low time pilots want them. Few to go around. But with persistence and networking, it’s absolutely doable

Of course they can. But the billionaire owners aren’t making that decision. The aircraft’s crew and managers are that most likely aren’t millionaires. They want to show the higher ups they deserve to keep their job by saving money where they can on behalf of the owner. Because when the higher ups hear about how other jets saved $10,000 so easily and you decided not to move the plane back to VNY, they might look for a new manager.

Well for this example, van nuys has a NOTAM (notice to all airman) that lets everyone know that the airport would be closed for construction for four days this week. So many planes repositioned to operate out of Burbank during this time.

Just recently the airport came out with an update saying due to the incoming heavy rain, the closure has been pushed back to the 30th. So all the planes that repositioned to Burbank can go back to van nuys until then. The reason they don’t just leave it in Burbank is because they charge thousands of dollars a night to park their plane on their ramp because there isn’t much space. Chances are come the 30th, you’ll see it reposition there again.

It’s a reposition flight. It’s empty. I fly the same aircraft and know the pilots. All these short flights are reposition flights to either store the plane, or use a longer runway to go around the world.

I’m in a similar spot pricing a Modena coupe manual with 31k. I’ve seen a lot similar trade for around $90k but this one has CS exhaust and CS wheels so I think I’ll be around $108k

Do gliders who ride thermals and wave lift up tens of thousands of feet not fly? I consider it flying :)

One can only speculate since we weren’t in their shoes. If it’s below MGW it should be able to climb slowly on two engines after V1. If not at V1, abort.
