Weight Restrictions for Helicopter Experiences

Flying activities have maximum weights (per seat) to ensure health and safety along with the comfort of fellow passengers.

You must enter passenger/participant weight at the time of booking an experience. If weight varies between the time of initial booking and date of flight experience it remains the responsibility of the customer to update their individual weight via their online account prior to flight.

All passengers will be weighed before flight and if disparity exists between weight disclosed and actual weight (within reason), the passenger may be ineligible to fly.

The following weight restrictions cover multiple flying experiences:


  • Aeroplane Flying Lessons (2 Seater Aircraft) – Max 15 Stone (95kg)
  • Aeroplane Flying Lessons (4 Seater Aircraft) – Max 18 Stone (114kg)
  • Helicopter Flying Lesson - Max 15 Stone (95KG)

  • Pleasure Flights (Helicopter)

Group size of One – Max 15 Stone (95kg)

Group size of Two – Max 30 Stone (190kg)

Group size of Three – Max 43 Stone (273kg)

Group size of Four – Max 56 Stone (355kg)

Group size of Five – Max 66 Stone (420kg)

Group size of Six - Max 76 Stone (485kg)


Please note that the maximum weight limit for the Co Pilot Seat on a helicopter pleasure flight varies depending on aircraft and other operational considerations but will not exceed 95kg.

If as a party of one you weigh in excess of 15 stone, you may still be able to fly, however you will need to purchase an additional seat. This seat will either have to remain unoccupied or can be occupied by an individual as long as the combined total as listed above is not exceeded. However, a total individual weight of 20 stone cannot be exceeded.
