Yes – as with all flights including commercial we do a weight and balance calculation beforehand.

We have the following weight restrictions/guides for our aircraft: Piper Warrior – Please contact the operations desk if the intended voucher holder is over 20 stone. We may well still be able to accommodate you but may have to make some provisions. Two Seater C42: Maximum weight 14 stone. Chipmunk: Maximum weight limit 16 stone. Harvard: Maximum weight 20 stone. Stearman: Maximum weight 18 stone. Please note that these are a guide and we still have the right to refuse flight should there be any conflict with full and free movement of the flight controls once you are seated in the cockpit.

Health: You just need to sign a temporary membership form on the day. In doing so you will state that you feel ok in yourself mentally and physically that day. If you have any concerns or medical conditions that you feel may restrict you from flying then please contact your doctor. We regret that we are unable to fly any persons with a mental or physical disability. We can however recommend 'Aerobility' who have a flying club specifically set up for anyone who might fall into this category. You have to be self mobile and able to step up and lower/raise yourself in and out of the cockpit of all the aircraft. This is especially important to bear in mind for emergency procedures.

Age: There is a minimum age of 14 years for all our aircraft apart from the four seater which has a minimum age of 7 years. There is no upper age limit. If you have any concerns about age-related mobility then we usually say that if you can get in and out of the bath unaided you'll be fine! Please note that this is particularly relevant for the Stearman and Harvard which are more challenging to get into and out of.

Your voucher will be valid for a year. Due to our generous validity period and ease of booking we do not offer refunds or complimentary extensions, although 3-month extensions can be purchased.

Please remember that your flight may be cancelled due to weather, so you should allow plenty of time to re-book should this be the case with your flight. We strongly recommend that you book the voucher within 3 months of the purchase date.

Vouchers are not refundable once purchased. If you, or the person who you have bought the voucher for, does not want to fly then the voucher can however be re-issued in a different name for a small admin fee.

Vouchers can be transferred between the Vintage aircraft and the two seater or piper warrior aircraft, subject to an admin fee.

Please note that if you cancel your booking with less than 24 hours notice then there will be a cancellation fee which will go to the flying instructor that was booked for your flight. You will be able to book in for another day once this fee has been paid.

We suggest that you wear comfortable clothing and leave the high heels at home - wearing enclosed shoes. If you're flying in the Stearman you will need to wear soft shoes such as trainers. Those flying in the Chipmunk, Stearman or Harvard will be lent a military issue flying suit to wear for the duration of the experience.

The Piper Warrior is the only aircraft with seating for more than one person. Whether or not you can take another person up to occupy one of the rear seats depends on weight and weather restrictions. Usually two medium sized adults in addition to the pilot/flying instructor is fine - the additional person/people will just need to become member of the club for the day for a small fee of £15pp.
