Legal Restrictions That Affect Charter Jets
FAA rules forbid certain types of jet charter aircraft from making instrument approaches at night, but the FAA isn't the only agency that can impose restrictions on aircraft. Local noise abatement policies can also affect night landings at certain destinations. Popular tourist spots like Aspen, Colorado impose such policies restricting aircraft activity between certain night time hours, creating a curfew for jet charter pilots who must otherwise divert to other airports to land legally. It's important to accept such policies as part of the "travel game". Never try to pressure a jet charter pilot or representative of a charter agency to bend the rules, as there is no flexibility allowed. Breaking FAA and local noise abatement rules can have serious consequences.
