What about the Weather?
All flying is subject to weather, aircraft
serviceability, pilot rosters and airfield availability. It is ESSENTIAL that
you call us on the day itself any time from 8.00am onwards (before you
set out) on our weather line 01666 577727 or
01243 576137 to check that the weather is suitable for flying and that
appropriate aircraft and pilots are available. If you are traveling down the
day before to stay locally, again we strongly recommend that you call us before
you set out. We will try and ensure you do not have a wasted journey if at all
possible, so please call us in advance! We accept no liability for any costs
incurred when flying has to be cancelled. We try very hard not to rearrange
trips as we have an extremely high level of bookings and it can be difficult to
reschedule cancelled trips.
During the winter months (November-March), there is a greater than 50% chance that you may not be able to fly due to weather. This decreases to around 10-20% during the peak summer months. The presence of low cloud and/or high winds may mean that we will have to reschedule. Additionally, as we occasionally transit our aircraft between locations on the morning of the flying day itself, occasionally we may be unable to fly in the planned location, due to poor weather where the aircraft are situated.
