ABOUT US
The Eastern Regional Helicopter Council is the Northeast’s premier organization for helicopter operators and industry professionals. Partnering with communities and government, the ERHC has worked tirelessly to achieve the increased safety, efficiency, and utility of the helicopter throughout the region.
Our many valuable programs include:
FLIGHT SERVICES
The ERHC, together with the ATC and charting officials, released an improved New York Helicopter Route Chart. We also continue our efforts to modernize instrument flight capabilities in the region, and will soon secure state-of-the-art GPS instrument approaches for NYC heliports.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Through our Helicopter Advocacy Program (HAP), the ERHC serves as a liaison between operators and local residents. By facilitating mutual understanding and allowing us to address community concerns, HAP is helping to ensure the future of continued helicopter operations in the region.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
The ERHC was proud to utilize its Emergency Response Program to aid Northeast residents affected by Superstorm Sandy in Fall 2012. Our members flew first responders to emergency sites and transported food, water, and other needed supplies to hard-hit communities. We remain vigilant and prepared to offer our services to the region in times of need.
NETWORKING/MENTORING
Our membership includes individuals, small businesses and aviation service providers, manufacturers, the area’s largest flight departments, and an airline, creating a unique community of interests and unparalleled networking of ideas among operators large and small. Through our organization, new pilots have access to the knowledge and experience of those members who have been operating in the area for years.
INFORMATION SERVICES
Our newsletter, web site, and email list keep ERHC members aware of the latest information on flight restrictions and other issues affecting flight operations. ERHC’s connections with regulators and information sources allow members to stay ahead of the curve.
