THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
SEATING: All passengers get a window seat. The seating allocation is done by the pilot according to weight and balance which will be ascertained before hand during your safety briefing.
​
CLOTHING: It can be quite windy with door off so we suggest you put on a sweater or jacket before entering the helicopter. It is also advisable for people with medium to long hair to tie their hair up before the flight.
​
TAKING PICTURES: Doors of the helicopter will be removed for photographic flights to enable optimal photo opportunities. Please note that when the doors are off it does get windy. Ensure you are wearing a jacket, your hair is tied up, that you don’t have any toggles or cords on your jacket that could interfere. Also ensure that all cameras are securely harnessed around your neck.
​
WEATHER: Namibia’s weather conditions are fairly constant all year round and make it a perfect flying and photography destination. However, flights are weather dependent and on the off chance that we encounter weather that would be counter productive to a photographic or scenic flight it will have to be rescheduled.
​
SAFETY: You will be flying in the safest and most reliable helicopters in the world – the Bell Jet Ranger and Robinson series. Your safety as passenger is paramount. All aircraft and pilots are certified with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and we pride ourselves that we adhere to even higher levels of safety that exceeds regulatory requirements. All passengers are given a thorough safety briefing prior to their flight, including operation of doors, seatbelts and general safety awareness around the helicopter.
