The helicopter tour and scenic flight is undoubtedly one of the most incredible experiences anyone can have.

But the question always comes: is it safe to fly by helicopter? Yes it is!

The view of the city is incomparable to the view provided by the tour and helicopter and panoramic flight.

The number of tours grows every year, but some news about helicopter crashes appears in the news and makes many people afraid.

So, we have prepared an exclusive text for you to understand exactly why it is safe and able to fulfill your dream of flying!

Is helicopter tour safe?

The helicopter is proven to be one of the safest means of transport in the world.

It is a complex aircraft, built using a lot of technology and that can be compared to the newest planes.

In addition to having to comply with all the requirements presented by the National Civil Aviation Agency, also known as ANAC, pilots must attend, necessarily, a specific course for piloting.

The first step is to take a course to become a private pilot.

This course begins with the theoretical part and, after this first stage, the pilot must complete at least 40 hours of training in aircraft suitable for flight instruction.

To become a helicopter pilot, you must also complete another course.

It starts with another theoretical training, for commercial pilot, where the person will have the necessary knowledge to exercise the profession of theoretical pilot.

After completing the theoretical part, he needs to complete another 100 flight hours and, in order to be certified, he still needs to pass a practical assessment with an ANAC inspector, where he will prove his aptitude to practice the profession.

For the helicopter tour, planning is also necessary.

There is a calculation, before the trip, of the weight of the aircraft, number of passengers and fuel, altitude of the place where the aircraft will land and take off, in addition to checking the weather.

The helicopter pilot profession is one of the most regulated in the world. In addition to all the training required in the courses, the pilot remains constantly updated.

The helicopter is safe, don’t worry.

But what about helicopter accidents?

ANAC has a series of requirements that ensure the quality of the pilot and the helicopter.

However, it is still possible to find some clandestine aircraft.

Cheaper flights, tax exemptions, not issuing an invoice, in addition to the lack of company information on the ANAC official website, are the main signs of the lack of regulation.

Care must be taken with companies that call themselves “flight intermediaries”.

This is because these “companies” hire outsourced services without any care for regulation.

It is very common to find them in agencies and air clubs.

It is exactly these companies that get involved in accidents and turn dreams into real tragedies.

Most crashes from regulated helicopters are caused by some pilot failure.

A regulated aircraft hardly presents any problem during the flight, since there is a safety procedure to be followed before any activity with the helicopter.

Therefore, when deciding to fly, it is necessary to choose a company really concerned with maintaining the most demanding quality standard, such as Rio2Fly.
