OVERVIEW:
The "NNEI" is a two-day IFR trip that is, in essence, the last two days of the “East Coast IFR Experience”. The trip starts at Columbia County Airport (1B1) in Hudson , NY , heading south to Long Island, and then up the coast to Bangor , ME. On the second day it returns through the White and Green mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont , flying some of the most difficult approaches in New England .
FOR WHOM IS IT DESIGNED?
This course is designed as a refresher course for already rated pilots (although IFR students may certainly take it as well) and serves as an excellent IPC (Instrument Proficiency Check). As in the ECIE, two pilots typically share the flying chores (If only one pilot books the trip, we still go). The total flying time averages 13 hours and 12 approaches will be flown, both precision and non-precision. Approaches will include ILS, LOC, LOC Back Course, VOR, PAR, and GPS. Pilots that are insured by Avemco will qualify for a 5% discount on their premiums upon completion of this trip.
