In 1994 the FAA established SFAR 71, a special set of rules governing tour flights in Hawaii. SFAR 71 severely restricted our minimum flight altitudes. The FAA has granted us a deviation from SFAR 71 based on our safety record and compliance with existing regulations.   Jack Harter Helicopters is permitted to fly down to 500 feet above the ground.  This is the lowest flight level allowed for helicopter tours in Hawaii.

"This was, without question, the most extraordinary experience of its kind weíve ever enjoyed. Your commentary was knowledgeable, articulate, and fascinating. I am sure some of these pictures will wind up in a magazine somewhere. Thanks again for a lovely 1.5 hours."
Granville Toogood, Condé Nast Traveler
"If you only have time for one activity ñ this is the one to do! The pilot was excellent and very smooth. They know Kauai very well and show you the best of it."
John and Linda Riggs
