Cirrus Vision on short final into Scottsdale Airport, Az

[virtie333]

Idk if anybody asked you this, or you already talked about this, but what do you think Modern!Poe's (or Earth!Poe? lol) choice of vehicle would be? Would he drive a car or a motorbike? And what type? 👀 If he's super rich what kind of plane would he fly? Do you think he would love those types that can land on water? Idk what they're called, but I feel like he LOVED TaleSpin as a kid and he even has like eight pilot jackets 😎

Oh, boy! I do have ideas on these subjects, and not only do I have ideas, but I've written them into my fics! Modern!Poe is one of my favorite things in the world! I love bringing everything great about Canon Poe into the modern world, and that includes planes, cars, and motorcycles!

Let's start with the motorbike, shall we?

First of all, I live in an area that hosts one of the biggest motorcycle rallys in the world, so I know a little bit about these 'death machines.' And one thing I know is that I HATE Harley Davidsons! I call them 'fart machines' and despise the noise they make. I hate anything manmade that is too loud. The motorcycle above, however, is a Suzuki Boulevard C90, and they are NOT loud. I gave Poe one in my ficlet The Soul Guide, and I made sure it had orange highlights like Black One.

In that story, Poe was also a pilot, ex-Air Force, and he flew one of these.

It's just a little Cessna 162 Skycatcher. It's a great plane to teach someone to fly... and Rey wants to learn to fly!

In my story Blind Faith, Poe's main form of transportation is this:

Ha! Yes, I made him an Olympic dressage rider. As a trainer in the story, he usually gets around in an old pickup...

I have a fondness for Chevy, so that's what I'm going with.

However, when he isn't hauling horses or hay around, he does splurge on a completely different vehicle (and he even takes Rey out on their first date in it!).

Now, imagine this Mustang with orange instead of red highlights and you've got Poe's vehicle obsession.

Whatever vehicle I give Poe in the modern world, it always seems to be either black or orange or a combination of. In The Haunting of Kenobi House I gave him an orange Chevy Blazer.

That Poe was also a pilot, but he also flew a Skycatcher like the one above. It's just a nice little affordable plane. I haven't written him as super wealthy, yet, but I do think the Poe in The Invitation is on his way to becoming very successful. In that short story, I didn't talk about him being a pilot, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be one. And he'd go for something like this:

Sharp and snazzy, this Cirrus SF50 Vision is just his style. Almost like an X-Wing!

And yes, I think he would love to have a seaplane!

Anyway, that was probably more than you wanted to know, but I hope you had fun! I know I did!

Thanks, Dolli!

Aircraft Operation Costs: Statistics, Tactics, and Money-Saving Hints

Operating an airplane—be it for commercial airlines, private flights, or personal use—is an intricate and expensive process. From maintenance and fuel to pilot wages and airport charges, the costs can mount rapidly. For beginners in the aviation world or those contemplating coming into the industry, it's vital to understand the costs in order to make the right choices.Understanding aircraft operation costs is crucial for anyone involved in aviation. 

🛫 What Are Aircraft Operation Costs?

Aircraft operating expenses include all costs of flying an airplane. They can be generally grouped as:

Fixed Costs: Charges that are fixed irrespective of the flight hours, like depreciation of aircraft, insurance, and hangarage fees.

Variable Costs: Charges that vary with flight operations, like fuel, maintenance, and pilot salaries.

It is necessary to understand the factors which keep these costs in balance for effective aircraft management.

💰 Real-Life Examples of Operating Costs

Commercial Aircraft

For commercial airlines, operating expenses can differ widely depending on aircraft and flight route. For example:

Boeing 737 (Medium Range, Narrow-Body):

Fuel: ~$2,250 per hour

Crew: ~$1,000 per hour

Maintenance: ~$1,500 per hour

Total: $4,750 to $6,500 per hour

Airbus A320 (Medium Range, Narrow-Body):

Fuel: ~$2,000 per hour

Crew: ~$900 per hour

Maintenance: ~$1,200 per hour

Total: $4,100 to $6,000 per hour

Boeing 777 (Long-Haul, Wide-Body):

Fuel: ~$7,000 per hour

Crew: ~$2,500 per hour

Maintenance: ~$3,000 per hour

Total: $12,500 to $18,000 per hour

Airbus A380 (Long-Haul, Wide-Body):

Fuel: ~$10,000 per hour

Crew: ~$3,000 per hour

Maintenance: ~$4,500 per hour

Total: $17,000 to $22,000 per hour

These estimates show the huge costs of running big commercial aircraft.

Private Aircraft

Private jet travel also comes with huge costs. For instance:

Gulfstream G650:

Hourly Operating Cost: $4,843.16

Cessna Citation Mustang:

Hourly Operating Cost: $1,015.37

Cirrus Vision SF50:

Hourly Operating Cost: $661.53

These estimates cover fuel, maintenance, crew wages, and other operating costs.

🧠 Expert Insights on Cost Management

Optimizing aircraft operating costs calls for strategic thinking as well as effective practices. Authorities recommend the following measures:

Maintenance Optimization: Proactive maintenance practices can lower unscheduled maintenance by 20%, increasing operational effectiveness. Sound inventory management practices can lower inventory expenses by 25% to 30%.

Crew Management: Improved crew utilization efficiency by 10% to 20% can be achieved through the use of scheduling software solutions. Investment in all-round training programs can reduce insurance premiums by 5% to 10% .

Technological Advancements: The replacement of avionics systems can improve navigation efficiency, which can result in savings ranging between 2% to 5% on operations cost. Implementation of software solutions for operations management can improve processes and overall efficiency by 10% to 15%.

Outsourcing: Strategic outsourcing of ground operations can lead to cost savings between 10% and 30%. Likewise, outsourcing cleaning and catering services will provide savings between 5% and 15% versus in-house operations.

💡 Everyday Tips for Newbies

For beginners in aviation or potential aircraft owners, some everyday tips are:

Begin with One Aircraft Type: Having a single aircraft type makes training and maintenance easier, which decreases costs. IndiGo, for instance, India's leading airline, has a single aircraft type—the Airbus A320 family—optimizing the operations and cutting costs .

Look at Used Aircraft: Buying an older aircraft can significantly decrease purchase costs. Just make sure to have complete checkups and evaluations to prevent surprise maintenance costs.

Use Flight Planning Tools: Make use of flight planning software to maximize routes, minimize fuel usage, and enhance overall efficiency.

Regularly Review Operating Expenses: Continue to monitor and review operating expenses so that areas where potential savings and efficiencies can be achieved are easily identified.

Aside from economic considerations, one needs to look at the environmental contribution of aircraft operations. The aviation sector is a major greenhouse gas emitter. Reducing fuel consumption through efficient practices, purchasing newer and more efficient airplanes, and researching alternative fuel sources can reduce environmental damage.

On top of that, effective aircraft operation can make air travel cheaper and more accessible to more people, and social equity will be encouraged.

📊 Conclusion

By comprehensively evaluating these expenses and implementing strategic management practices, operators can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable aviation industry. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer, staying informed and proactive is key to successful aircraft operations.

Private jets are in demand now, and more and more individuals and business entities are hoping to invest in one. Indeed, having a jet at one’s disposal shortens the waiting time at commercial airports as well as several inconveniences. The first-time investor may have the money handy but is at a loss when it comes to inspection and deciding based on the related pros and cons. It is best to connect with an experienced aviation broker with a long-standing reputation for excellence.

Our rather interesting flight EP#1

This is by far one of my most memorable teaching moments in my flying career. Me and my father departed from centennial airport (APA) for Kansas city downtown (MKC) in the SF50 vision jet. My father needed to do a plane swap for a new demonstration aircraft so he allowed me to come along. The flight out there was rather uneventful, it was a beautiful July evening and not a thunderstorm in sight.

Arriving into MKC

We arrived out in Kansas city and went and grabbed dinner in the downtown area with my dads coworker, thank god we did because the next few hours were about to become chaotic.

SF50 side by side

Within the next hour and a half there were two MASSIVE thunderstorms that popped up, one being south of our route of flight and one being north. These thunderstorms were rapidly growing, and slowly closing in on each other which would close our gap along our route of flight. With this being a normal thing in the summer we didn't think much about it so we quickly departed MKC for APA and had a nice gap between the two thunderstorms.

In a normal climb out we were just north of the southern thunderstorm by about 20-30 miles. The lightning storm was absolutely beautiful as you watch it all from a distance. Climbing through 14,000 feet we had no weather on our NEXRAD weather, keep in mind here that the NEXRAD is updated every 5-10 minutes. With this rapidly growing thunderstorm, what we were seeing on the radar wasn't what was actually happening outside.

In that climb through 14,000 feet the lightning started to grow dark which was really unusual. We look up and see this massive black tower in front of us and BAM we smack this thunderstorm (which was not on the radar). We immediately hit a crazy updraft so our climb rate went from 2,000 FPM to 8,000 FPM! We were just covered in ice in a matter of seconds. We quickly made a turn back around to the right because we knew the thunderstorm was off our left so we would now fly away from it and allow us to get out of this rapidly growing "cell". Without air traffic controls approval, which in this situation was ok, we made the turn back around and got the aircraft stable enough and outside of the thunderstorm. With that we were now at 19,000 feet and all of this happened in a span of maybe 2 minutes max.

We were now mentally shaken up over what just happened. With that we got a re route over to Omaha Nebraska where we could land and re asses how we wanted to get home. We arrived in Omaha probably around 11pm and got more jet fuel and said that we were just go the really long way. Our new route of flight has us going north of the northern thunderstorm all the way up to the southern part of North Dakota then we would traverse west and pop down over Wyoming.

We did make it back home that night at around 2am in the morning. We were both exhausted but man this was such a good learning moment.

Looking back at this experience there were a few things we could have done better. I wouldn't say our situation was get there idous as we had a clear path between the two thunderstorms so I think we were ok in that context. When it came to us flying into the cell we should have had the onboard weather radar running, this would have gave us accurate weather readings allowing us to know that we were about to fly into a rapidly growing cell. Even with us flying that close to two rapidly growing thunderstorms it should have been instinct to have the onboard radar running giving us information as it scans back and forth getting radar returns.

Example of the weather radar on the left and the NEXRAD on the map on the right

With this experience it has taught me to always have backup instruments running so you have more data to make poise decisions.

If there is one thing I can preach to new pilots, it's that there will be moments in your flying career where you will be put up to the task of making poised decisions. My best advice towards this is learn from your mistakes. In our case, we should have ran the weather radar to make sure our decisions were smart. If it weren't for this memorable experience it would not have made me a better pilot. Learn from your mistakes and use it to grow and fly safe!
