An Instrument rating allows a pilot to fly helicopters "solely by reference to instruments"...in other words, without the need to look outside.  Many helicopter operations depend upon their pilot's ability to fly through clouds and in weather where visibility is restricted.

In fact, more and more employers are requiring an instrument rating as a prerequisite to helicopter pilot employment. At Northeast Helicopters we have developed an FAA approved FAR part 141 and Part 61 training program to meet the demanding needs in today’s marketplace.

All flight and ground training is done one-on-one with your instructor, an essential way to make certain that you get undivided attention as you develop this important new skill of flying by instrument reference only.  These skills will pay big dividends when you are seeking employment in the future.

We utilize our IFR training ships which include Robinson R22s and the Schweizer 300CBI.

The instrument courses at Northeast Helicopters consist of three stages of instruction in instrument flight and instrument flight rules. To be eligible for the instrument rating, the student must hold a Private Pilots certificate and a medical certificate. Flight instruction and ground training are integrated into our FAA approved flight training syllabus and are taught concurrently.

 Recently we have added WAAS, ( "Wide Area Augmentation System" ) to our GPS systems. 

All NEH flight instructors are Instrument rated, and have their CFII (Certified Flight Instructor Instruments). It is mandatory at Northeast Helicopters that all instructors have their instrument rating along with their CFII.
