The rotor thumps, and the coastline unfolds: thin ribbons of beach, the cut of the Banana River, and the long straight geometry of the Shuttle Landing Facility. In a Robinson R-44 Raven you climb above Cape Canaveral for 45 minutes of low‑level flight that stitches beaches, ports, estuaries and launch infrastructure into a single, moving map.

Morning flights for clearer light
Book early‑morning departures to reduce haze and increase the odds of seeing dolphins and manatees near shallow inlets.
Disclose weights in advance
Operators require weight information and have limits (not allowed over 300 lbs); accurate data ensures safe weight-and-balance planning.
Secure camera gear
Bring a compact camera or phone with a wrist or neck strap — large bags are impractical in small helicopter cabins.
Prepare for motion sensitivity
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take precautions before boarding; the pilot may offer headsets for stable communication.
Sunglasses
Cuts glare over water and improves visibility during flight.
