FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about flight capacity

Is the displayed flight capacity binding?

No. The overview is for orientation only. It is based on the currently loaded pilot calendars, but it does not replace a confirmed booking. Weather, launch site, wind and your pilot’s safety decision remain decisive.

How often is availability updated?

The calendars are checked about every 15 minutes. New bookings or newly blocked times may therefore appear with a slight delay.

Why can’t I book short-notice slots through the normal booking system?

Regular online booking requires at least three hours’ notice. For available short-notice slots, the widget shows a spontaneous request link. Our pilots are then contacted directly on their phones.

What happens after a spontaneous request?

When you submit the spontaneous booking form, our pilots are notified directly. If a pilot is available, they will call you to arrange the meeting point and confirm whether the flight can take place.

Can I fly together with a friend?

Yes, in principle. This requires enough available pilots and suitable weather conditions. You can find more information about the add-on on the flight options page.

What does high capacity mean for groups?

High capacity means that several pilots currently appear as available in the calendars. For larger groups, early booking is still recommended, because with enough notice we can sometimes ask additional pool pilots.

Should I also check the flight weather?

Yes. Pilot capacity and flyable weather are two different things. Capacity shows whether pilots are likely to have time. The flight weather overview helps you judge whether the conditions may also be suitable.
