One trainee will receive the opportunity to handle the controls observed by a certified flight trainer. While in flight, soak in stunning landscapes and attempt basic operations (rotating, rising, lowering etc.)

Please remember: the observer won’t be flying the helicopter. Flying instructions won’t be allowed within NYC airspace. No previous flying background is necessary.
