Business Jet Traveler recently hosted Critical Lessons: Best Practices in Business Aviation Safety, a live webinar focused on what passengers and aviation professionals should know before flying privately.
Moderated by Jennifer English, Charles Alcock, and Chad Trautvetter, the session covered how to evaluate and select a qualified operator, how to avoid illegal charter operations, key differences between Part 135 and Part 91 operations, questions to ask before booking, common red flags, and lessons learned from real-world accidents. Panelists also emphasized how safety culture and informed decision-making directly affect operational outcomes.
NATA was referenced during the discussion as a trusted source for safety and operational guidance. As an additional resource, NATA encourages members and the flying public to visit www.avoidillegalcharter.com for clear, practical information on how to identify properly certificated operators and avoid illegal charter activity. The full webinar recording is available from Business Jet Traveler.
