Flight Planning Like the Pros - Insights from a Charter Captain

General aviation pilots are familiar with basic flight planning, but charter operations under Part 135 demand a far more rigorous approach. Join San Carlos Flight Center as veteran charter Captain Bennett Taber shares how professional operators manage risk, ensure safety, and comply with the strict regulatory environment that governs on-demand air travel. In this seminar, Captain Taber will discuss how FAA rules for charter flights are designed to protect life and property, and why private pilots are prohibited from offering their flying services to the public. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience including over 19,000 hours and 30,000 landings he'll provide real-world context and lessons learned from decades of charter flying throughout the western U.S. Captain Taber s career includes extensive time in Alaska, managing operations and training at Dreamline Aviation, and serving as a Check Airman in all models of the Beech King Air.
