Risk Disclosure Statement
Flight Risks
1. Aircraft Limitations
Single-engine aircraft have certain limitations compared to multi-engine aircraft, including reduced redundancy in case of engine failure. Although these aircraft are well-maintained and are modern, unforeseen mechanical issues may arise.
2. Weather Conditions
Flights are subject to weather conditions, which can change and impact the safety and comfort of the flight. Our aircraft are flown under Visual flight rules only. In certain circumstances, flights may be delayed, rerouted, or cancelled for safety reasons or if the conditions are below our legal meteorological minima.
3. Pilot Experience
Our highly experienced pilots are qualified, trained and assessed under all appropriate Civil Aviation rules. Flying in a single-engine aircraft requires skill and proficiency due to the terrain and environment we fly in. While our pilots prioritise safety above all else, there is always a level of inherent risk associated with flying.
4. Turbulence
Turbulence can occur during flights, especially in certain weather conditions or over specific terrain. While turbulence is typically not dangerous, it can be unsettling for some passengers.
5. Motion Sickness
Flying in a small aircraft can be different from flying in a commercial airliner and may cause motion sickness in some individuals. If you are prone to motion sickness, please take necessary precautions before the flight. We carry air sickness bags in the seat pockets and our pilots will explain the best ways to combat airsickness.
6. Emergency Procedures
In the unlikely event of an emergency, our pilots are trained to handle various situations. However, it is important for passengers to follow all instructions provided by the pilot to ensure a safe outcome. We provide a detailed briefing before every flight to ensure passengers are aware of procedures.
