Dassault Falcon announced on June 15 that they have selected Rolls-Royce to provide the power plants for their next Falcon, a super-midsized jet. Company executives announced at the press conference that other major technological decisions for the new jet would be finalized within the next year.

Short Leg Charges

Fractional owners of private jets, particularly owners that frequently take trips less than an hour long, should know the details of short leg contracts.

Short legs are flights which total less than an hour (this calculation may or may not include taxi time -- an important detail). Any flights that take less than an hour are automatically charged as at the minimum flight time rate. Contracts differ by company, but generally each company allots a certain number of short leg waivers per year. These waivers exempt you from being charged for the full hour. The number of waivers provided in the standard contract varies by company, so be sure to ask before signing the contract.

Visit our website for more information about about Short Leg Waivers.
