  1. NETJETS UNIQUE AVIATION WEATHER

  2. NETJETS • Executive Jetbegan as a charter company in 1964 • The Fractional Ownership concept known as NetJets began in 1986 • NetJets experienced rapid growth thru the 1990s • Expansion to Europe and the Middle East • Development of NetJets International • Purchased by Berkshire Hathaway in 1998 • The company was rebranded in 2002 to become NetJets Aviation • The Executive Jet name continued with Executive Jet Management • The Marquis Jet Card Program began in 2001 • Worldwide market leader • 800+ aircraft worldwide / 14 types / 6-18 pax

  3. Fractional Ownership • Basically “time-sharing” a private jet • Benefits of aircraft ownership at a fraction of the cost / logistics • Luxury travel at your convenience – Time Savings • Travel on your schedule • Your location • Flight Crews • Maintenance • Storage

  4. Fractional Ownership • Interests begin with as little as a 1/16 share • Hours of flight time are based on your shares • Marquis Jet Card allows access to NetJets fleet 25 hrs at a time • Access to the entire fleet through aircraft sharing agreement • In the air at a moments notice • Tax incentives • Maintenance beyond FAA requirements • Costs • Acquisition Cost • Monthly Management Fee • Occupied Hourly Fee • Miscellaneous

  5. Our Owners • Businesses- appx 75% • Private/Public • Supplemental travel • High Net Worth Individuals- appx 25% • Actors/Actresses • Athletes • Doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, etc

  6. NETJETS METEOROLOGY • Staff of 5 Meteorologists • 3 BS / 2 Air Force • FAA approved source of weather briefings • Primarily focused on US Operations and surrounding regions • International forecasts on request • Forecast time range primarily current day through 2 days • Extended forecasts as required • Considered an “advisory source” of weather information • Two main types of forecasts • Operational • Owner / Passenger

  10. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS • NetJets Dispatch Dept is responsible for creating Flight Plans and Flight Releases for each flight segment • All flights are flown under FAR 91K or 135 • Official text weather brief comes automated on the release • METAR and TAF • Meteorology Dept is responsible for any additional support as needed • Dispatchers • Pilots • Operations Management

  11. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS • Dispatcher Forecasts • Wet/Dry Runways • Ceilings/Visibility • Departure Temps • Winds- Cross/Tail • Flight Hazards • Awareness/Avoidance • Alternates • TAF Analysis

  13. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS Dispatch may ask for more details about a specific flight at a specific time KRIL 311120Z 3112/0112 32010KT P6SM VCSH SCT090 BKN120 TEMPO 3114/3118 5SM -RA OVC070 FM311900 29010KT P6SM VCSH OVC050 FM010100 29010KT P6SM VCSH BKN050 FM010600 30007KT P6SM BKN150= KRIL

  15. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS • Pilot Forecasts • Official flight weather briefings on request • Flight hazard analysis • Radar overview • Information for Passengers

  16. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS A COMMON PILOT QUESTION IS ABOUT ECHO TOPS

  17. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS • Operations Management Forecasts • Safety of flight decisions • Individual flights • Large scale significant weather • NetJets Significant Weather • Operations - SIGOPS

  18. NETJETS METEOROLOGY PASSENGER WEATHER FORECASTS • NetJets promotes the Meteorology Dept as a safety and convenience enhancement to its Owners • Our forecasts lessen the impact weather has on our Owners • Safety- Never compromised despite the Owners wishes • Convenience- Anticipating and avoiding weather delays • Comfort- Anticipating and avoiding flight hazards • “White Knucklers” • Weather forecasts outside of flying • A perk to being a NetJets Owner

  19. NETJETS METEOROLOGY PASSENGER WEATHER FORECASTS • The biggest benefit of flying privately is time savings “Value” • Weather delays can eliminate those time savings • Owners fly where they want when then want • NetJets utilizes over 1,600 airport locations across the US • Smaller airport = more weather restrictions • We are responsible for reviewing weather for each passenger flight • Potential weather impacts are communicated to the Owner Service Team responsible for that Owner • Alternate plans can be discussed to avoid or lessen that impact

  20. NETJETS METEOROLOGY OTHER ROLES • Flight schedule efficiency • Aircraft overnight positioning/hangaring • Large scale / high impact weather events • Aircraft Protection • Severe weather • Maintenance • Operational Check Flights • Ramp Personnel Safety • Training • Pilots / Dispatcher/ Flight Attendant recurrent programs • Career advancement program • Sales • Popular facility tour-stop

  27. NETJETS METEOROLOGY CHALLENGES • Dual-Role Forecasting • Operational weather vs Owner Weather • Bi-lingual? • Large forecast region • Less time spent truly forecasting • Understanding geographic influences • Public access to weather info • TV / Internet • Perception vs True Impact • Lack of aviation knowledge

  28. NETJETS METEOROLOGY • Because of these challenges we rely on other data sources to aid us with our forecasts. • TAFS- All 24-30 hrs • Local NWS Discussions- AFDs and Aviation • ADDS and AWC • CCFP • AIRMETS and SIGMETS • GTG / CIP / FIP • PIREPS • ATCSCC • NBAA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
