TheWoWDBUsing Thaelin's Copter whilst mounted won't put you on the copter, but will complete the quest objective, so you can save some time by doing so.
You might need the Stable garrison building to do so, however.

If you fly up to [npc=79722] instead of taking Thaelin's Copter, Ogir says
Is something wrong with the copter?This would typically be listed as the "Progress" text above (between Description and Completion), but since the data for this page was populated prior to patch 6.2.2 it was not possible to access Ogir without use of the Copter.

Description
There weren't many survivors of the Warsong attack. The few remaining rangari have gone up to one of the bluffs overlooking Telaar. The rangari are waiting for you. They're planning a surprise counter-attack. My copter's taken a beating. The auto-pilot's set to take you up there. I think she's got one last trip in her. Maybe.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Up and Running
The Warsong struck us hard. We lost Telaar, but we have a rare opportunity to strike at the heart of the Warsong. We need your wisdom and leadership to pull it off, <name>. First though, we're going to get our survivors out of Telaar. My rangari are ready to strike. We just need to get you to them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mo'mor Might Know
We know the Warsong packleader that attacked the caravan is in Telaar. She has the blueprints. We don't know where she is down there, but there's one who might. Vindicator Mo'mor was last seen alive, but taken prisoner. If he's still alive, he might know where the blueprints are.
