Private planes dont need air traffic controllers?

[enigmo]

it depends on the airport and airspace. it's not required everywhere.

[tombert]

Sure but that probably wouldn't affect rich people. Rich people would be flying to LA, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, etc. Big metropolitan areas.

I think those areas would probably need air traffic controllers.

[enigmo]

yeah all the major airports are class B and they need atc at jet cruise altitudes.

there are uncontrolled airports with runways large enough for jets.. like Alpine Wyoming.

No one rich enough flying what the average person would consider a "private jet" or private plane would be flying VFR from uncontrolled airport to uncontrolled airport. The "ultra rich" are not puttering around in single-engine Cessnas

[enigmo]

not going to argue with that, there were single engine comments on the thread though.

Untowered airports are a thing...
