Inside FlyNYON's Safety Culture | Helicopter Tour Safety

At FlyNYON, your safety is our number one priority. Our trained team will make sure every passenger feels secure and comfortable before, after and during their flight. Here at NYON, we are the proud recipient of the Eastern Region Helicopter Council (ERHC) Safety Award for our unwavering commitment to Ground and Flight Safety.

The NYON team stays on the cutting edge of safety technology. On June 16, 2018, we received FAA approval for our quick release harness system that we are using on all doors off flights. The system consists of the 338-ARS Heli-Ops harness and ARS Personal Retention Lanyard. The system is designe d to keep you safely secured in the helicopter and uses a quick release tether for fast and simple exit in case of an emergency. The system has been designed and tested by aviation industry safety professionals, reviewed by the FAA and tested by aerial photographers.

The NYON Team combines over three generations of aviation experience and 50,000+ flight hours. Safety is and has always been our top priority. We actively seek best-in-class training for our flight department. NYON pilots undergo rigorous, scenario-based safety training that exceeds industry standards.

From check-in to takeoff, every step of the FlyNYON experience is crafted to maximize passenger care and satisfaction.
