Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this estimate?
It is a first planning estimate. The actual time depends on the available helicopter, wind, load and the approved route; the operator confirms it.
Why is positioning included?
If the helicopter is based far from the starting point, it has to fly there and back, and that time is part of the mission.
Does the calculator show prices?
No. We don't publish prices; the price is on request and varies by operator.
