Aircraft Ownership, Flying with Kids, Lifestyle · March 22, 2021

Welcome General Aviation Families!

Welcome to a new space for current or aspiring aircraft owners with children! If you are anything like me, once I had kids I would search for the best information regarding anything from hearing protection, to car seats, to best fly-in destinations for family fun. I didn’t land anywhere particularly useful or entertaining as information is either scarce or outdated. I hope to use this space to share important tips for flying with kids, highlight useful products that I’ve researched and tested in air, and help provide inspiration for small airports to fly into for family activities. Together with my partner, we will also provide useful insights regarding aircraft ownership that will hopefully be of interest. I am passionate about writing for personal fulfillment, and I’m excited to see where this site goes knowing the sky is literally the limit!

You might be wondering – what do we know about anything anyway? Combined we have 45 years experience in aviation, are self represented in many purchases and sales of different type of aircraft, and travel a cumulative of a few months out of the year with our children. We know how much there is to consider both when flying with family and in aircraft ownership, and I’m looking forward to using this outlet to share ideas with you. You can read more about our backstory in the Our Story section.

Again, welcome! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me via the contact page or Instagram.

3 hours in, going strong! It can be hard to keep l 3 hours in, going strong! It can be hard to keep little ones occupied after a while when they can't see anything out of the window, and they are growing tired of wearing even the comfiest headset.  Or when they like hearing themselves scream at hoot at each other in the mic for fun...🤦🏻‍♀️ I try to keep track of what take off time supports the best tolerance of a longer flight... 8:30 am seems to be a sweet spot lately for my 3 and 5 year old. 🥰  I always think about flying overnight with them, but haven't been super motivated to plan it.

FL300 most of the time now since the RVSM STC was FL300 most of the time now since the RVSM STC was added at the factory in Vero.  Topping weather and flying more efficiently. 👍🏼⠀
