4
Fractional Ownership Interests begin with as little as a 1/16 share
Hours of flight time are based on your shares Marquis Jet Card allows access to NetJets fleet 25 hrs at a time Access to the entire fleet through aircraft sharing agreement In the air at a moments notice Tax incentives Maintenance beyond FAA requirements Costs Acquisition Cost Monthly Management Fee Occupied Hourly Fee Miscellaneous

Our Owners Businesses- appx 75% Private/Public Supplemental travel
High Net Worth Individuals- appx 25% Actors/Actresses Athletes Doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, etc

NETJETS METEOROLOGY Staff of 5 Meteorologists 3 BS / 2 Air Force FAA approved source of weather briefings Primarily focused on US Operations and surrounding regions International forecasts on request Forecast time range primarily current day through 2 days Extended forecasts as required Considered an “advisory source” of weather information Two main types of forecasts Operational Owner / Passenger

OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS
NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS NetJets Dispatch Dept is responsible for creating Flight Plans and Flight Releases for each flight segment All flights are flown under FAR 91K or 135 Official text weather brief comes automated on the release METAR and TAF Meteorology Dept is responsible for any additional support as needed Dispatchers Pilots Operations Management

NETJETS METEOROLOGY OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS Operations Management Forecasts Safety of flight decisions Individual flights Large scale significant weather NetJets Significant Weather Operations - SIGOPS
18
PASSENGER WEATHER FORECASTS
NETJETS METEOROLOGY PASSENGER WEATHER FORECASTS NetJets promotes the Meteorology Dept as a safety and convenience enhancement to its Owners Our forecasts lessen the impact weather has on our Owners Safety- Never compromised despite the Owners wishes Convenience- Anticipating and avoiding weather delays Comfort- Anticipating and avoiding flight hazards “White Knucklers” Weather forecasts outside of flying A perk to being a NetJets Owner
19
PASSENGER WEATHER FORECASTS
NETJETS METEOROLOGY PASSENGER WEATHER FORECASTS The biggest benefit of flying privately is time savings “Value” Weather delays can eliminate those time savings Owners fly where they want when then want NetJets utilizes over 1,600 airport locations across the US Smaller airport = more weather restrictions We are responsible for reviewing weather for each passenger flight Potential weather impacts are communicated to the Owner Service Team responsible for that Owner Alternate plans can be discussed to avoid or lessen that impact

NETJETS METEOROLOGY CHALLENGES Large forecast region
Dual-Role Forecasting Operational weather vs Owner Weather Bi-lingual? Large forecast region Less time spent truly forecasting Understanding geographic influences Public access to weather info TV / Internet Perception vs True Impact Lack of aviation knowledge

NETJETS METEOROLOGY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
Because of these challenges we rely on other data sources to aid us with our forecasts. TAFS- All hrs Local NWS Discussions- AFDs and Aviation ADDS and AWC CCFP AIRMETS and SIGMETS GTG / CIP / FIP PIREPS ATCSCC NBAA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
