Title:
Flying The NY SFRA (Special Flight Rules Area)
Topic:
How to safely fly the New York VFR Corridor.
Brief Description:
Flying the NY SFRA is an effective way to transition the New York Metropolitan area and is also an awesome scenic flight. However, the risks are numerous and the flight could become awful rather than awe-filled. This seminar presents all the rules, hazards and risks, and then shows how to fly the route safely.
Learn all the important, as well as mandated, reporting points, the difference between “transient” and “local” altitudes, where and how the helicopters operate, the proper frequencies to use along with suggested proper phraseology. The knowledge gained from this seminar will allow you to fly the corridor safely and with reduced risk to all aircraft in the airspace.
