| Q |
Can I charter a helicopter at night, or in
poor weather conditions? |
| A |
Not all types are suitable for night
flying, generally the larger types are but smaller single-engined types
are not. All night
flying is subject to using properly illuminated landing areas or
airfields. In the list below helicopters capable of night flying can also
fly in poor weather, but only to suitably equipped airfields. |
| Q |
Can a helicopter land anywhere in the UK? |
| A |
No, they can freely use airfields and
helipads but private property can only be used with the landowners
permission. Landing areas must be open and free from obstructions, such as
power lines and trees. |
| Q |
Can you find a helicopter landing site for my
charter? |
| A |
We can suggest airfields and helipads in
the area but permission to use private property must be obtained by the customer. |
| Q |
What is the cost of helicopter charter? |
| A |
The cost of helicopter charter is worked out per flying hour plus landing fees, waiting time and
VAT (domestic flights only). Total cost will include the time taken to position to and from the
helicopter's base. |
| Q |
What luggage can be carried? |
| A |
All helicopters have only very limited space for
luggage. If you are taking a large amount then a larger type of helicopter
will be required. |
