We are required by the South African Civil Aviation Authority to complete a Mass & Balance for each and every flight as each helicopter can only carry a certain amount of weight of which this needs to be distributed evenly around the helicopter. On arrival at NAC Makana, each passenger will be weighed. The reading of the scale is hidden and kept confidential unless asked for by the client.
Please be advised of the following limitations for each of our helicopters on the Standard Tours. Weight limitations for Charter Flights will vary and can be acquired from NAC Makana staff. The total passenger weight limitation listed next to each helicopter would be the combined weight of the group flying in the helicopter.
