HIGHEST SAFETY STANDARDS

For NetJets, the safety of our Owners and their guests is

paramount and the foundation for everything we do. It is the

rationale behind the superior technology in our planes and

our strict pilot training schedule. It is also the reason we

have the most stringent maintenance and operating

procedures in the industry. And as a Berkshire Hathaway

company, we have the commitment and the resources to be

the safest and most secure private aviation company in the

world. When it comes to safety we never compromise.

NetJets Pilots

Our pilots are the most experienced and well trained in the

industry, averaging 7,500 hours of flight experience each.

They all possess extraordinary qualifications, with some even

having served aboard Air Force One. Even so, we require

them to return two times per year for simulator training. In

fact, on every NetJets flight both pilots are FAA type-rated as

captain*. And each pilot flies only one type of aircraft, with

universally identical cockpits. This ensures that, when a pilot

reaches for a particular control, it is always at the same

place, dramatically reducing the likelihood of error.

Aircraft

As the largest buyer of private jets, we ensure that every

aircraft meets our acceptance standards before they are

placed into operation. We buy the best aircraft and equip

each new jet with the latest state-of-the-art safety devices

such as the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System

(EGPWS) and the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance

System II (TCAS II).

Operations

Safety starts long before takeoff. Before every flight, our

Operations experts including FAA-licensed Dispatchers and

FAA-approved Meteorologists go over everything, from

aircraft capabilities and airport conditions to weather

conditions and baggage loads. No NetJets flight takes off

unless both the pilot-in-command and the dispatcher

independently verify all flight plans and computations. This

dual-release requirement means that two highly trained

professionals must both agree that the flight can be

accomplished without compromising safety.

Maintenance

All maintenance inspections conducted on NetJets aircraft

meet or exceed the provisions for fractional aircraft providers

specified by the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA).

All NetJets aircraft are subject to a carefully managed

maintenance regimen handled by the professionals who

know them best: the original equipment manufacturers and

their authorized support facilities. And of course, we work

only with manufacturers that meet our very high standards

for maintenance.

Security

NetJets constantly works with fixed base operators (FBO),

local airport authorities, law enforcement officials, the

National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), and Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) security officials to determine

if additional security measures are necessary to ensure

Owners peace of mind. NetJets also maintains ongoing

agreements with ASI Group (ASI), the International Security

Associates (ISA), and Jeppesen to provide a variety of

services including risk and threat assessments for overseas

locations and global monitoring.

*Standards listed are for the NetJets U.S. program.
