✅ Flight Safety Standards
Pre-Flight Safety Briefings
- Every guests will receive a pre-flight safety briefing from your Pilot on the planned flight path, what to expect during the flight and how to operate emergency exits.
Qualified & Experienced Flight Crews
- All our crew are qualified Commercially Licensed Pilots and Flights Instructors with detailed knowledge of controlled airspace and several hundred to several thousand hours of flight experience.
Detailed Monitoring of Weather Data
- All flights are subject to favourable weather conditions on the day and your Pilot may delay or cancel your flight if they believe the weather may impact the safety margins or comfort of your flight.
Use of Position Broadcasting Technology (ADS-B)
- Helicopters are equipped with position broadcasting technology (ADS-B) which reports their position in real-time and, as an option in some aircraft, give automated warnings of other aircraft flying nearby.
Routine Mandatory Maintenance Inspections
- Helicopters are inspected every day prior to the first flight and receive a detailed inspection every 50 - 100 hours by licensed aircraft engineers (LAME) with critical components being inspected and replaced at required maintenance intervals.
Flight Planning & Monitoring with Air & Rescue Services
- Flights to destinations outside populated areas may have detailed flight plans submitted to Airservices Australia and may include deadlines for time that search action may be required (SARTIME) as a strict precautionary measure.
Use of Licensed & Insured Air Transport Operators
- All flights are conducted by CASA-licensed Air Transport Operators with approved safety management systems. Operators maintain full operational control of aircraft at all times and hold carrier and public liability insurance. Air Operator Certificates (AOC) include:
