Weight & Size Guidelines

Helicopter weight and balance changes with every flight because of passenger weight, pilot weight and length of flight (fuel weight). It is important that we have accurate body weight from every passenger. FAA regulations require all passengers and their carry-on items to be weighed at time of check-in. If a standard airline seat belt is too small or you weigh over 240 pounds you are required to purchase a comfort seat on our FXSTAR open seating. Any couple with a combined weight of 420 lbs. are required to purchase a comfort seat on our FXSTAR open seating. Any individual over 240 pounds is required to purchase a comfort seat on our FXSTAR first class seating. Any couple with a combined weight of 400 lbs. is not allowed FXSTAR first class seating. If you are between 200-290 lbs. we recommend open seating on the WhisperSTAR. Over 290 lbs. is required to purchase a comfort seat in our WhisperSTAR. Thank you for your cooperation.
