Do private jets have toilets?
Do private jets have toilets? The enclosed toilets are found in smaller jets at the front of the plane behind the cockpit. In larger planes, they are in a separate area in the rear of the cabin. As the size of the aircraft increases, the toilets are flushable and come with a sink and mirror.
What age do private pilots stop flying?
