Before you fly, let us answer some important questions for you.
When is the best time to fly?
Any season is great time to fly over New England. Whether you fly in the morning
or afternoon, you will experience spectacular views.
What camera lens is best to use on the flight?
We recommend a lens of around 35mm. This approximates the field of view of the
human eye. As the lens becomes progressively wider the picture will appear further
away. Conversely, a telephoto lens narrows field of view and is usually not
what you want in your scenic, aerial photograph.
How fast will it go?
The normal cruising speed is 110-130 mph.
What happens if the engine fails?
The engine will automatically disengage from the rotor system. The rotor blades
will continue to turn at normal operating speeds, allowing the pilot to make
a fully controlled landing. This procedure is called Autorotation. Unlike a
conventional plane, the helicopter will touch down with little or no forward
movement, and in a relatively small space.
Why are helicopters so expensive?
The helicopter is a very complex aircraft with many moving parts. It requires
a great deal of engineering, testing and quality control to assure maximum safety
and reliability. The production rate of a helicopter is low which keeps the
unit price much higher than a mass produced vehicle such as the automobile.
What are the benefits of helicopters?
Helicopters are able to take off and land vertically, hover or fly at very low
speeds and rotate 360 degrees while hovering, giving passengers panoramic views.
Helicopters are often called upon in emergencies in remote areas virtually inaccessible
by fixed-wing aircraft.
