NASSAU HELICOPTERS SOARS INTO TENTH YEAR OF HELICOPTER SERVICE

Headquartered at Princeton Airport, Nassau Helicopters soars into its tenth year with a fleet of six helicopters, a perfect safety record and substantial plans to meet growing customer demand for a variety of helicopter services. Among Nassau Helicopter's services are passenger shuttle, helicopter pilot training, sightseeing, aerial photography, search and rescue missions, aiding law enforcement efforts, and the ever-popular Santa arrivals at area holiday events.

Training is a key mission at Nassau Helicopters. John Nevers, owner/operator and his flight instructors bring more than 20,000 hours of flight experience to the school. Together at Nassau Helicopters, they've helped hundreds of students achieve certification in four key helicopter training areas: Private Pilot, Commercial, Certified Flight Instructor and Instruments. As John Nevers describes it, "Students come to us for two major reasons for the sheer thrill and freedom of movement that helicopters provide to well-trained pilots. Others come to us to begin a career in helicopter flying, which can lead to assignments in law enforcement, healthcare, corporate transportation, tourism; the whole range of uses in which the incredibly versatile helicopter is engaged."

With 455 helipads and 51 airports in New Jersey, there is ample opportunity for both passengers and pilots to enjoy the unique experience of helicopters. Views from helicopters are unobstructed for 180 degrees, giving the passenger a far greater sensation of flight than is possible in an airplane.

And what about safety issues? Vigilant maintenance of equipment and strict adherence to all FAA regulations keep Nassau Helicopters and its pilots with flawless safety records. While air disasters of all kinds concern everyone, John Nevers notes that "It is due to the hazardous nature of some helicopters' missions like search and rescue and firefighting, that accidents occasionally occur, rather than any inherent risk in the vehicle itself." So, tourists and student pilots need not be concerned for their own safety on routine flights. In fact, Mr. Nevers notes, "The helicopter is the only vehicle that has saved more lives than it has taken."
