Here you can find a list of our most frequently asked questions.
Are there any safety concerns I should know about?
Safety is our number one priority, and we will always do everything we can to keep you safe, including providing regular maintenance and service on all of our helicopters. It can help to read up on helicopter safety, however, to learn more about how to stay safe as a passenger on a helicopter tour or transfer.
What happens if inclement weather prevents my flight? Will I be refunded for the price of the tour or transfer?
The weather here in St Lucia is typically ideal for flying, so weather groundings are incredibly rare. If, however, the weather should ground your flight, we will have made the determination in advance so that ground transport will be waiting for you when you arrive. If St. Lucia Helicopters cancels the helicopter ride, your money will be refunded.
What about mechanical problems? What will happen if something happens to the helicopter at the last minute?
After more than 15 years in the business, we have a considerable redundancy in our equipment. Our flights are scheduled in a way that allows last minute changes to be made, as well as to make up for delays. We have developed, over the course of our time in the industry, procedures that help ensure nearly perfect performance records.

Airplanes cause me to become airsick. Will this happen during helicopter rides as well?
Unlikely. While there are air sickness bags aboard the helicopter, the way the blades spin give the helicopter a much different feel when flying and a much smoother ride. This is what makes helicopters so ideal for photography shoots and aerial filming.
I know that if an airplane loses power, it will glide to the ground. I am scared of helicopters, though. Won't they just fall like a rock if they lose power?
Absolutely not. Think of a winged seed falling from a tree and how it rotates. This is what would happen if, for any reason, a helicopter were to lose power. Equally importantly, all helicopter pilots must regularly practice this autorotation in order to ensure the safety of passengers in the event of a power failure. Helicopters are actually much safer than planes in the event of engine failure.
How do I know that your helicopters are properly maintained and that your pilots know what they are doing? After all, St. Lucia does not have a large administrative body like the FAA, does it?
St Lucia Helicopters is actually under the authority of the Directorate of Civil Aviation, which is an umbrella organization that covers most of the Eastern Caribbean. Their offices are located in Antigua. Furthermore, the DCA is supported by Britian's CAA, or Civil Aviation Authority. The team and crew here at St Lucia Helicopters all hold DCA qualifications, which are recognized by the CAA. Having flown under both the Canadian and FAA systems, we can safely attest that the DCA and CAA are the most stringent, exacting, and demanding aviation authorities in the world today.

Are helicopters really as expensive to operate as they say?
Yes. It takes a great deal to fuel and maintain a helicopter.
If helicopters are so safe, why do I hear of so many more helicopter crashes than airplane crashes?
There are two reasons for this. First, a helicopter is much more likely to have a celebrity or VIP on board, which will make the story much more newsworthy. Secondly, and more commonly, helicopters are typically deployed to perform inherently dangerous tasks that airplanes could not, such as providing rescues in bad weather, flying near electrical towers and lines, providing lift work in remote and mountainous areas with high winds, and more. These types of missions are far beyond the capabilities of an airplane and are very dangerous even for helicopters. For you, however, as a St Lucia Helicopters passenger, there are none of these situations or dangers. Our shuttle flying and scenic helicopter tours are as safe as it can get. Believe it or not, you are statistically safer in one of our helicopters than you are riding in a car or walking down the sidewalk.
Is it true that helicopters are much harder to fly than airplanes?
While everything is relative, a helicopter pilot would be quick to answer yes to this question and then start explaining from there. For student pilots, there is a very steep learning curve when trying to pilot a helicopter. The pilot must have excellent hand-eye coordination compared to an airplane pilot, and learning to hover can be incredibly difficult. Think of it like balancing a broom on your hand. Given enough time and practice, you can do it, but it is no easy feat!
Are there medical issues I should be aware of before I fly?
First, if you are in the latter stages of pregnancy, you should consult with a physician before taking a helicopter tour or transfer. Your helicopter will reach a maximum pressure altitude of no more than 3,000 feet. If you have been SCUBA diving in the last 24 hours, you should not ride in a helicopter.
