Sweet Talking the New York TRACON

There is no better way to get comfortable maneuvering around congested airspace than to immerse yourself in New York's Class B airspace.  

And there is no better way to improve your radio communications skills than to mix it up with the "take no prisoners" controllers working the New York City Class B airspace. 

In addition, there is no better way to finely tune your IFR procedure skills than to shoot approaches at New York's Westchester Airport, La Guardia, JFK, Newark, and Teterboro.

Finally, there is no better way to view the fabulous New York City skyline than by skimming along the Hudson River corridor at 1,000' AGL.

Yep . . . you and I will spend a day flying the New York City Class B airspace.  We'll depart the Akron, NY Airport (9G3 - located just 8 miles east of the Buffalo/Niagara Falls International Airport) in your airplane at 7am.

We'll fly southeastward to the Delancy VOR, pick up the Nobbi Four STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route) and land at the Westchester Airport (KHPN).

After a short break, we'll take off and fly over and land at New York City's La Guardia Airport.  We'll have brunch at the famed Marine Terminal from where Pan Am's giant Clippers opened up the air routes to South America.

Then it's off to JFK International Airport.  We'll land at one of the largest and busiest airports in the world, park at its only FBO, then plan for our VFR departure westward along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline around Coney Island, over the Verrazano Bridge, then up the Hudson River at 1,000' AGL.

We'll descend down low, circle the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, then up the Hudson River to the George Washington Bridge. 

We'll then turn back south, contact the Newark Tower for our landing clearance at the busiest airport serving the New York metropolitan area.

Then it's over to Teterboro to experience the busiest GA airport serving New York.  If time permits, we'll hop a cab, limo, or ferry into Manhattan for the biggest and best pastrami or roast beef sandwich in the world at the famed Carnegie Deli on 7th Avenue and 55th Street. 

We'll then catch the sights in Times Square before heading back to Teterboro for our night flight back to Akron.

I'll be your flight instructor and tour guide . . .

You can do all of this . . . . and log a biennial flight review (BFR) and an instrument proficiency check (IPC) at the same time for just $799* (your passengers go free)! 

Or, you and another pilot friend can share in this training at the same combined charge of $799*.  And I'll hold your hand (figuratively speaking, of course) the entire way.

More importantly, you'll receive your flight training in the real world where the big dogs play.

Another variation . . . we can drop your family or friends off at LaGuardia where they can grab a cab ride into Manhattan while we finish our training.  We can then meet up with them again after our final stop at Teterboro.

Your training will include Class B operations, ATC communications, SIDs and STARs, instrument approaches and departure procedures, airport surface navigation, and maneuvering work.
