Wings Air, LLC - White Plains

Welcome to Wings Air Helicopter Flight Training

There are several factors to consider when selecting a flight school:

Train in Schweizer 300C helicopters. The armed forces of the United States and more than 25 other countries around the world have used the Schweizer 300C for helicopter training. It is the best training helicopter in production.
Learn from experienced commercial pilots. In addition to training new pilots, all of our flight instructors work as commercial pilots. Benefit from their knowledge and experience.
Flexible scheduling. We tailor our training schedule to accommodate your busy schedule. Our aircraft are available on short notice. We’ll be ready to fly when you are.
Location. Our school has two convenient locations: the Westchester County Airport (only a 35-minute drive or a 25-minute train ride from New York City), and our new satellite school at the Duthcess County Airport in Poughkeepsie, NY. However, if you prefer to fly to your lesson, one of our experienced instructors can pick you up right from your location, including midtown Manhattan: It is that easy.
Low cost. In addition to the best helicopters and instructors, we offer helicopter training at affordable rates. However, if you are interested in financing your training, Wings Air has partnered with Pilot Finance.

Our Aircraft

Wings Air conducts student training in the Schweizer 300C for several very important reasons:

Safety, control, and comfort - Schweizer aircraft offer several features that Robinson helicopters do not.

Shock-mounted landing gear absorbs the impact from hard training landings.
Full dual controls similar to larger helicopters. No "T-bar" here.
Fully articulated main rotor creates a more responsive control feeling.
Adjustable pedals accommodate students of all heights.
Larger cabin size makes your training more comfortable.

Versatility - The Schweizer has an excellent reputation throughout the industry. Operators worldwide use the Schweizer for training, electronic news gathering (ENG), law enforcement, agricultural operations, line patrol, external load applications, and more.

No additional training requirement - The FAA requires pilots to log additional training before they can fly a Robinson helicopter. Not so in a Schweizer. You can view the FAA regulations regarding training and Robinson helicopters at the following link: SFAR 73

Financing

While Wings Air does not finance "in house," there are commercial lenders available, such as Pilot Finance. More information is available by contacting the lenders directly.
