Private Helicopter Flight Lesson from Westchester

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.

I booked this introductory lesson as an anniversary gift for my husband and he was so thrilled with it! The service is excellent and the staff are kind and friendly. This was definitely the best intro to piloting we could have asked for.

Amazing experience, and Kieran was an incredible instructor. Couldn't say enough great things about this. I hope to do it again soon.

I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. The organization and instructor were very easy to work with. Specifically, with regards to the flight instructor (Mario), he was highly professional, knowledge, enthusiastic, patient.. Every good thing you could say comes to mind. Very enjoyable experience, and I will most definitely be back.
