Helicopter

ROBINSON R44 Raven II

Like the smaller R22, it is powered by a Lycoming piston engine and offers comfortable seating for four people, with each of the three passengers having a window seat. For flights with just a few passengers, such as wedding flights, it is the ideal solution at an unrivaled price. At Mountainflyers, the helicopter is mainly used for sightseeing flights of all kinds and for pilot training. For many new private pilots, it is the first "big" helicopter and allows them to carry passengers on charter flights and share the fascination of flying with friends and family.

Typical area of use

  • Ideally suited for all kinds of sightseeing flights
  • Birthday and wedding flights
  • Pilot training
  • HESLO training

Frequently Asked Questions

Under what conditions do single-seat flights take place?

For the single-seat flights (departing from Bern-Belp every Sunday) to take place, the following conditions must be met:

  • All seats on the helicopter are occupied or paid for
  • weather conditions are favorable

If not all seats on the helicopter are filled, the flight will be rescheduled to a subsequent weekend (Saturday or Sunday) of your choice.

How can I pay for my helicopter flight?

You can pay for our helicopter flights, gift certificates, and store items online by invoice or credit card. Cash payments are also accepted on-site.

We accept the following payment methods:

  • Postcard
  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • EC debit card
  • Twint

Please note that flights must be paid for before departure in all cases.

How far in advance do I need to book a helicopter flight?

We recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. Of course, you can also make a reservation on short notice. If you book with less notice, there’s a chance our helicopters may already be booked. We’re especially busy on weekends.

Is there a weight limit for helicopter flights?

Yes, every type of helicopter has a maximum takeoff weight that must not be exceeded. Factors such as the number of passengers, fuel load, air temperature, engine power, and flight time, among others, must be taken into account. The pilot is legally required to prepare a “load manifest” before the flight. This document includes, among other things, the individual weights of all passengers. When booking a helicopter flight, we therefore ask for the passengers’ weights and reserve the right to recommend a larger, more powerful helicopter if the maximum takeoff weight is exceeded. Please feel free to contact us directly for calculations regarding specific configurations.

For the Robinson R22 (used only for introductory flights and training), the limit is 95 kg per person.

For the Robinson R44, the average passenger weight is 95 kg per person, and for the Bell 505, it is 85 kg per person.

What should you keep in mind during the flight?

During the sightseeing flight, you can talk to the pilot through your headset. Be sure to keep your microphone close to your mouth. On exclusive sightseeing flights, the route can be customized to your preferences, provided it fits within the time frame. Of course, you’re welcome to take photos during the flight.

Unlike an airplane, a helicopter can land almost anywhere. Many sightseeing flights include a stopover in the mountains or at a restaurant. For exclusive sightseeing flights lasting 45 minutes or longer, a stopover is generally possible.

You can find more information in our passenger briefing.
