Weight & Size guidelines:

Accurate body weight of every passenger is VERY important. FAA regulations require all companies to weigh passengers and their carry-on items prior to boarding the helicopter. If inaccurate weights are given, customers may have to reschedule to a different flight or cancel.

If a standard aviation seat belt is too small or the passenger is over 240 pounds (108.8kb) he/she may be required to purchase a comfort seat on the ASTAR.  

If the passenger is between 240-290 lbs.(108.8 - 131.5kg), Sunshine Heli recommends open seating on the WhisperSTAR. Over 290 lbs. may require a comfort seat (additional seat) in the WhisperSTAR.
