Q |
Can a helicopter charter fly at night, or
in poor weather conditions? |
|
A |
Not all helicopter hire 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 hire flight 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 landing site for my
helicopter hire flight? |
|
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 hire and
charter services? |
|
A |
The cost of helicopter hire 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 on helicopter
charter flights? |
|
A |
All helicopters have only very limited space
for luggage. If you are taking a large
amount then a larger helicopter type will
be required.
