Abstract:
Very Light Jets (VLJ) could very well revolutionize re-gional air travel around the world for both business and pleasure by providing an affordable alternative for thou-sands of owner/pilots, small companies, and potential customers of on-demand air services. Unfortunately, there are also concerns that the VLJ may experience a surge of early deliveries and rapid growth followed by a series of tragic and preventable human-caused acci-dents. Many international aviation professionals feel that, in order to ensure VLJ operational safety, stake-holders must cause manufacturers, insurers, and regula-tors to address key questions about proposed VLJ train-ing programs and their related human factors issues.
