Stephen Hickok of Hickok & Associates, Orange Beach, Ala., announced on Thursday that the FAA performed a successful flight inspection on February 23 of the company’s design for the first helicopter simultaneous noninterfering (SNI) instrument approach in a complex airspace system.

Hickok designed five procedures for the greater New York City area under an initiative sponsored by both the federal government and industry that will allow helicopter IFR procedures into Manhattan heliports while fixed-wing and airline traffic continue to fly uninterrupted to La Guardia (LGA), John F. Kennedy International (JFK) and Newark Liberty International (EWR) airports.
