The Bell 206 B3 Jet Ranger is a 5-place (1 pilot + 4 passengers) helicopter with an average cruise speed of 100 mph, range of 300 miles and an endurance of 3 hours. The Bell 407 is a four-blade, 7-place (1 pilot + 6 passengers) helicopter with an average cruise speed of +150 mph, range of +370 miles and an endurance of 2.5-3 hours. Flight times are estimated and dependent on helicopter used, weight configuration, and weather conditions. Maximum weight refers to passenger + luggage. All passenger and luggage weights are required at time of booking.
Accurate weight information is critical to safely plan your helicopter flight. We need all passengers’ names and individual weights. We need the number of luggage pieces and individual weights. Accurate weights are critical for safety - the helicopter has maximum payload, passengers and luggage has to be distributed in a manner that the helicopter is within its operational limits. When traveling with less than the maximum allowed passengers, a number of luggage pieces can be placed on the extra empty seats. Luggage compartment can carry a maximum of 250 lbs, restrictions apply. Please take this information seriously as failure to give accurate information could lead to refusal from Astrum Helicopters to do your flight due to excess weight and forfeiture of your payment/deposit.
