Overview
Experience the thrill of flying around the Hudson Valley with this helicopter flight lesson from Westchester Airport in White Plains, NY. Start with ground instruction to learn about basic flying technique and safety and then take to the air during an approximately 30- or 60-minute private lesson. One student will be allowed access to the controls under the supervision of a certified flight instructor. While airborne, you will enjoy breathtaking views and try your hand at basic maneuvers (turning, climbing, descending, etc.) In the Robinson R44 Raven II helicopter you have the option to invite an additional passenger/observer to ride along with you (subject to weight limitations). Please note: the observer does not fly the helicopter. Flying lessons are not permitted in NYC airspace. No prior flying experience needed.
