NetJets Question - "P"

[azav8r]

@cfijames

If the aircraft has a pink temporary registration it cannot be operated outside the continental US (there are a few exceptions). Any time any one of the owners is added, changed, or removed from any of the aircraft registrations the aircraft is supplied with a new temp certificate.

FYI, it takes less than 10 hours from closing to get a telex “flywire” from Ok city. You can fly internation as long as that fly wire has not expired and it accompanies the pink slip. Don’t forget they don’t work SAT, SUN.

P- or any other letter designation behind the flight call number is usually a “dual” airframe attack of the same flight. I.E. wx delays CO4xx from EWR to IAH but another airframe pics up IAH-LAX CO4xxP to maintain system integrity. Letter assigned by ATC. All three letter operators qualify.

The subject of a letter following an airline flight number for the purpose of two aircraft operating flight continuations for schedule integrity has been discussed numerous times here before.

cfijames and mduell are correct that Netjets aircraft operating with a temporary registration are designated with a “P”. This is a Netjets operational thing as it is easier reassign an aircraft on short notice for a trip rather than request a fly wire.

Last night was pretty slow and it just so happened that an ExecJet (EJA, Net Jets) was the only guy I had. So I asked. The pilot said the “P” does in fact mean the the aircraft is pink slipped or restricted to US operations. They used to put “0Pink Slipped” in the remarks of their flight plan which then showed up in Block 9 for terminal flight progress strips.

Thanks for the info. Good job.

You didn’t believe what was confirmed here five months ago?..

Trust but verify.

Trust but verify.

I think some pretty credible sources did that…

Wow. If my knee hurts, who do I ask questions of? A cardiologist, an orthopedist or a dentist? They are all doctors after all. Like I said, the opportunity arose so I asked a company employee. Its pretty hard to find better authority than that.

As previously stated the “P” showed up on EJAxxxP at just about the same time the “0PINK SLIPPED” disappeared from remarks on their strips so I was 99.9% sure anyway. I remembered seeing the question somewhere so I asked. No harm, no foul.

All that I am going to further say about this is…those that previously confirmed the information did so from their knowledge of, and sources within, NetJets. Believe it or not some of us “doctors” are specialists in this business.

Anybody know why some NetJets (Execjet) flight numbers have a P at the end?

flightaware.com/live/flight/EJA724P

[rw812]

I don’t know why the “P” but flightaware.com/live/flight/EJA724 (no “P”) has identical flight plans.

[Mohammed658]

My understanding is that the “P” is a positioning flight with no clients on board.

Please search the forum before posting a new thread.

We automatically combine all the EJA, EJA*P and tail number flights for Netjets so you see them all regardless of which identifier you look for.

I did search and did not find the answer to my question. Show me the thread that answers it.

The fact that you combine the tail numbers isn’t relevant.

Thanks to Mohammed658 for the answer.

Uhhhhh… how 'bout page 1 of THIS THREAD

@mduell

P = pink-slipped - Noted in the ident so ATC won’t route them offshore or outside the US.

[ChrisK92]

When I searched for “NetJets” that thread did not appear in the results. All of the results were dated 2011. There must be a limit on how far back in time the search function will go, which limits its effectiveness.

I’ve merged your thread into the existing one.

Mohammed658’s answer differs from the explanation I and others have received directly from Netjets.

Well then, I see absolutely no reason to fault you then!

Hey Mark, what’s the deal with having threads only searchable back to one year? Isn’t there a setting in the forum software to search back to 2004 and before?
