Senator Chuck Schumer will urge the FAA to revoke the license of New York Helicopter after a crash into the Hudson River led to six fatalities. His concerns center around the 'Part 91' licenses used by such operators, which he believes do not enforce stringent training for mechanics and pilots, thus endangering passengers. Schumer's intervention also involves a demand for increased inspections at all helicopter tour companies and mentions a past incident involving FlyNYON, reinforcing the need for immediate action to prevent future tragedies.
Senator Chuck Schumer states, "The 'Part 91' licenses used by helicopter tour companies lack the strict training requirements of other commercial licenses, raising safety concerns."
Schumer noted, "It's imperative that the FAA revokes the license of New York Helicopter and increases inspections of all tour operators for improved passenger safety generation."
