Hopefully those of us in the business can start communicating in non-insider terminology. Maybe we should post a glossary of terms and acronyms with definitions. To grow our industry it is imperative that we communicate better with the market. Ellen:

I had never seen it before and it is very thorough and accurate. But, is it just me, or does it seem written a bit for pilots and people already familiar with charter services? Although the questions seem good on the surface, I'm not sure people who have never chartered before would know what to do with the answers. It's like learning one foreign language question "where is the bathroom?" and hoping someone just gestures for you - but they actually respond back with words & sentences - and the restroom happens to be down the hall, past the double doors, make a left by the elevator and go up 3 steps. Would you know how to find your way there? Would be great to get the NBAA list "translated" for folks who've never chartered before - essentially, the ones that can be helped by this guidance the most. Also, ARG/US and Wyvern don't cover piston operations, which is often the best choice for short jaunts. We attempted to do a short-cut list for newbies to charter in our (in-much-need-of-an-update) blog: http://flyfleet.blogspot.com/2009/08/top-5-tips-for-selecting-charter-flight.html. I'm looking forward to reading the next in your safety series. Thanks for bringing up this topic - it's certainly a key barrier to attractive the general population to charter. Cheers, Ellen Thanks for pointing out the NBAA’s list of questions to ask. I had never seen it before and it is very thorough and accurate.
