F. A. Q

When should I arrive for my helicopter flight?

We require passengers to arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled flight. This allows enough time for us to check-in and pre-flight all passengers on safety and procedures when in the helicopter.

What should I wear?
Clothing should be comfortable and not too loose-fitting.
NOTE: Hats and other loose articles of clothing can be blown away due to the wind caused by the aircraft.

What if the weather is not good on the day?
The pilots make a weather call each morning. Passengers are welcome to call the office for an update. If we have concerns regarding the weather, we usually try and give booked passengers a call the day before to talk through options.
