Here are some more information for Aircraft Taxi Light:
There are an increasing number of orperators of Very Light Jets VLJs in Europe for 40 to 90 minute journey times.
The Cessna Citation Mustang
Blink Air has selected the next generation Cessna Citation Mustang. The Citation Mustang is the best in-class Very Light Jet (VLJ). VLJs are defined as aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of less than 10,000lb. VLJs offer cost advantages over traditional business jets both in the initial purchase price and operating costs.
The aircraft fill a void between single-engine turboprops and the aging fleet of cabin-class pressurised piston twins. VLJs offer big cost advantages over traditional business jets in terms of both the initial purchase price and operating costs, and that is bound to be a significant selling point in these straightened economic times. In addition, high fuel costs are also helping to drive sales.
The Cessna Citation Mustang carries four passengers in a 2x2 face-to-face seating configuration, the Mustang's highly functional environment is a "Boardroom in the Sky" experience for executive air charter. The "Boardroom in the Sky" allows you to prepare for the next meeting, review the meeting you just had, or have some time for personal reflection. The onboard lavatory ensures customer's peace of mind.
The Mustang's powerful engines reach speeds of over 390 mph significantly reducing travel times and its best-in class short-field landing capability ensures you get into more airports than any other operator.
Blink Air has ordered 30 Cessna Mustangs, making it the largest Mustang operator in the world.
Eclipse 500
The Eclipse 500 is successfully marketed for pilot / owners, air charter, aircraft hire and air taxi services, as an economical and luxurious six-seat twin turbofan jet.
The twin turbofan jet engines provide maximum altitude of 12,497m (41,000ft) which avoids most severe weather systems.
Embraer Phenom 100
Embraer has received over 750 orders for the Phenom 100 and 300. The Phenom 100 will enter full volume production in 2009 and Embraer plans to manufacture up to 150 aircraft a year.
Arinc flight planning services
Eurocontrol,the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation based in Brussels, estimates VLJs are going to account for 300 more movements a day by 2015.
VLJs fly at higher altitudes, but at lower speeds. Arinc Direct, the business aviation division of Arinc, the leading aviation communications and engineering specialist, has devised a tailor-made VLJ package for flight planning, weather forecasting, flight tracking, runway analysis and weight and balance applications. Applications are accessible from standard internet connections, Blackberry-type devices or smartphones. Subscribers can also purchase aviation fuel through Arinc Direct at favourable, pre-negotiated rates.
Pilots will find the Arinc package easy to use, but the organisation also offers 24/7 real-time assistance from its own state-of-the-art flight operations centre.

25 in St. Martin
Sometimes a split personality isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In the case of St. Martin, the schizophrenia can be crazy, but hey, crazy can be good. Sint Maarten/Saint Martin is the smallest island in the world that is governed by dual sovereign states, divided nearly equally between France and the Netherlands. While certainly Caribbean, the old world character traits have remained uniquely preserved. The French side is laid back, but intense about fine cuisine while the Dutch side is fun-loving and focused on nightlife. It’s like a miniature tour of northern Europe. Add the numerous other little islands so close that you can see everyday life on them and it’s an inspiring place for a GyspyNester. We were literally itching with the exploration bug. But exploring the neighboring isles would have to wait for another time. This visit was a celebration of just 25 hours. One for each year of our marriage.
We checked into our hotel on the Dutch side, a huge complex of high-rise rooms, swimming pools, eateries and a few too many love-handled speedo guys. Not exactly our cup of tea, but very posh and a befitting change of pace for our celebration. Usually we try to stay a bit lower to the ground. After sundown, we hailed a cab and headed out for Grand Case on the French side—with our driver Matt at the helm.
Matt’s the man—a veritable treasure trove of local information. He answered all of our queries with humor and honesty. We found out gas is cheaper on the French side, but is too “light” (low octane) for his taxi. We were also heartened to learn that we could ship one of our daughters to the French side, doll her up and have her find a nice man. Once they are married, she can hen-peck him until they move themselves and our beautiful grandchildren to Paris and buy a villa with a guest room for us. Find Matt when you visit, he’s a true artist, a chuckhole dodging Botticelli, a master. He knows stuff.
The border between the two countries of the island is in a fairly remote area—the best way to tell that you've crossed over is that the road immediately changes from a typical tropical island pothole laden mess on the Dutch side to icy smooth on the French side. No gates, no guards, no problem.
With our back-roads tour of the island behind us, (Matt knows the short cuts) we arrived at the little French village of Grand Case. A goal of ours is to moor a boat off the shore of this wonderful little area and proceed to gain 20 pounds. There were so many wonderful restaurants packed into the quaint, narrow streets it is a Herculean effort to choose just one. But, alas, we had just the one evening.
We decided on L'Auberge Gourmande, a lovely gem among a glittering tiara of deliciousness. Highlights were a epic scallop swimming in an asparagus soup, monk fish with wasabi mashed potatoes, and an amazing array of chocolate for dessert—white mousse and hot baked fondant. If you looked up hot baked fondant in the dictionary, it would read "Molten chocolate cake with orgasmic properties." Each plate had those wonderful French touches—a flower of caramelized shallots, dots and dashes of sauces and spices, and pools of butter, butter, butter. A bottle of Pinot Gris, "Les Maquisards" Domaines du Château de Riquewihr, created a nice counterpoint to the nose-stinging wasabi.
After coffee Matt was waiting for us, as advertised, and we headed back to the Dutch side to wander the pleasantly garish Maho Bay area of neon, casinos and entertainment galore.
The next morning we took a stroll (note that we didn't say romantic stroll) along Tortuga Beach, and spent some time dodging aircraft. Tortuga beach is directly under the flight path of landing aircraft. It's a constant barrage. The beach is literally the last thing a pilot sees before the beginning of the runway. Before we are judged too harshly, we are fully aware how cheesy this touristy diversion is but the cheesiness is totally beaten down by the sheer awesomeness of it. Here's how it's done: Lay on the warm, white Caribbean sand, position yourself under a jumbo jet filled with Canadian tourists and get doused with waves whipped up by the jet wash. Try it sometime -- then dare to judge us.
Here's hoping that every one of our anniversaries will include a rush like this. Next year, who knows? But no doubt we’ll find a way to fill those 26 hours no matter where we are.

Aviation questions, pilots feel free to answer?
Which mathematicians principle of fluid dynamics is the most widely taught explaination of how planes fly?
When taxiing a moving light aircraft on the ground, how do you make a right turn?
Thanks guys!
I assume your talking about Bernoulli's principle. It teaches that fluid and air compress, move more quickly, and at reduced pressure in areas that compact the fluid, such as through the center of an hour glass. That principle being applied to a wing arch, will result in lower pressure at the top of the wing, resulting in low enough pressure to induce lift sufficient to keep the aircraft aloft. Recent research has indicated that this, combined with impact lift from underneath the wing, combine to keep aircraft aloft, the ratios of which depend on the regime of flight. (Angle of attack, airspeed, etc.) There is still controversy regarding the ratio and benefits of impact lift. Lift from other surfaces, such as the fuselage itself, can also impact total lift forces. I've included a link below to further explain the mathmatics behind the principle, if interested.
When taxing a light aircraft, you make a right turn by using the right rudder pedal. Most light aircraft have the main front tire tied to the rudder pedal controls. Depressing the rudder pedal with the heel of your foot causes the front tire to turn in that direction.
Also, many light aircraft have differential braking, with each main wheel brake controlled by a toe tip brake pedal that operates separately from the rudder pedal.
In addition, propeller torque can be used to assist or hinder the turn, depending on the direction of turn and propeller spin direction. Tail dragger aircraft may require a zig-zag type of taxi to ensure the area is clear to turn prior to commencing the turn.
Larger aircraft may utilize a tiller system to control the front wheel.
