Flying the Hudson River Corridor

As the weather gets warmer, I'm sure more people will be out there flying this spring.

If you're like me, you're curious about flying the Hudson River Corridor.

I have flown as a passenger in a friend's Mooney, but never as P.I.C.

The following was a popular site that gave a lot of tips on flying the Hudson:

Although Scott's site is full of information, as of November 16 2009, it is now out of date. As of April 6 2010, I'm still waiting for Scott to update the content.

The issue is that Scott's pages (germaise.com) are based on old FAA rules. The old airspace/use rules can be seen in this visual representation:

After the August 8 2009 crash of a helicopter and single engine plane, the FAA decided to issue new rules for the Hudson River Corridor, which became effective November 16 2009. The new rules can be seen in this visual representation:

Also see the FAA announcement here.

If you're interested in flyijng the Hudson, I encourage you to review the above.

And let me know if you want a co-pilot!
