From the time the aircraft begins taxiing towards the runway, to the time it comes to rest after landing, the pilot in command has authority over all operations associated with that air charter.<\/p>\n<p>Most air charter companies require their pilots to hold a valid ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certificate. This is the highest level of training in the industry.\u00a0Commercial airlines also use ATP certification.<\/p>\n<h2>Required Pilot Training to Operate\u00a0a Jet Rental<\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, air charter brokers like Stratos Jet Charters require pilots to meet other standards before they\u2019re allowed to serve as pilot in command on a jet rental. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum 3,000 hours total flight time, half as pilot in command<\/li>\n<li>First class medical certificate<\/li>\n<li>Minimum 250 hours \u2018time in type\u2019 training for the specific aircraft they\u2019re flying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many pilots start out as commercial airlines pilots before making the switch to the private jet charter market.
