For legal and safety reasons, all passengers are weighed prior to boarding the aircraft.
All flights and tours are subject to aircraft operating within their weight and balance/performance limitations as specified in the aircraft flight manual and the Company Operations Manual. We operate Robinson helicopters that have a maximum seat limitation of 135kg (297lbs), passengers in excess of this weight will be required to fly in the Eurocopter helicopter and may incur additional cost subject to the number of passengers travelling.
Shared scenic flight bookings for two where the combined total is 180kg or more must book a private flight for additional cost.
All Hunter Valley and Blue Mountains tours and their pricing are also subject to confirmation of passenger weights where maximum limitations apply. Please contact our office for further information.
Accurate individual passenger weights MUST be provided at the time of booking. Failure to provide accurate weights may result in the passenger(s) being unable to fly or further costs to the passenger(s) to proceed with the planned flight or aircraft upgrade. This is all based on safety and will never be compromised. Sydney Helitours will take no responsibility for any costs associated with the passenger(s) being unable to take their flight if inaccurate weights are provided. If passenger(s) are unable to fly due to inaccurate weights no refund will be given.
