Training the Boston Helicopter Routes

January 23rd, 2010

At North Andover Flight Academy, we train helicopter pilots to handle Class B operations. Boston Class Bravo is an interesting flight most days, but when the wind is out of the Northeast the Quarry route becomes an exercise which is made easier with familiarity. The best way to get familiar with the Boston helicopter routes is to get dual from a qualified instructor. Today the wind was light from the Northeast, so we decided to incorporate some of the Boston Helicopter Routes into our training.

With Logan landing 4R and 4L, the Quarry Route requires a descent which can be unnerving for the first time. Pilots need to know the proper landmarks - Andrews Square and the Milton Outer Marker are the important checkpoints. Maintain the proper alititude between these to avoid the overhead traffic landing at Logan. Train with the premier helicopter flight school in New England!
