Before Your Flight

To get the best possible experience, prepare your trip at home by packing and planning carefully:

• If possible, weigh passengers, luggage, and any dogs at home to make sure you stay within your booked weight class
• Pack in several smaller bags rather than a few large ones
• Soft bags and moderately filled backpacks are easiest to fit into the helicopter
• Do not attach items such as sleeping bags, sleeping pads, or shoes to the outside of bags
• Avoid external frame backpacks, as they take up more space
• Avoid large boxes, as they are difficult to load
• Boxes must have a lid and should be securely taped, especially drink crates (for example soda or beer cans)
• Bring bags for your trash so you can take it back with you
• If you plan to make a fire, we recommend bringing your own firewood or buying it from us
• Please read the information regarding dangerous goods and pack according to the regulations

Safety around the Helicopter

For Fjällflygarna AB, safety always comes first for both our customers and our staff. This applies to everything from the equipment we use to the flight routes we choose. An important part of our safety work is maintaining clear routines and systematic procedures.

Everyone around the helicopter must stay alert, listen carefully, and follow the instructions given by the pilot or ground staff.

The following safety regulations apply around the helicopter

• Never approach a helicopter without permission from the pilot or ground staff
• Never walk behind the helicopter – the tail rotor is extremely dangerous
• The pilot or ground staff open and close all doors – please do not touch them
• When exiting the helicopter, walk diagonally forward, never backwards
• The pilot or ground staff load and unload the helicopter
• Do not throw objects such as sleeping bags – they can be sucked into the rotor
• Keep dogs on a leash, both inside and outside the helicopter
• Dogs must always sit in the back seat with a person holding them
• The helicopter creates strong wind during takeoff and landing – secure loose objects

Important to Remember:

• Always bring bags for your trash so you can take it back with you
• Do not disturb wildlife or reindeer
• Be aware of dry conditions and possible fire bans
• Check the rules for the area you visit – nature reserves and national parks have specific regulations
• If you plan to make a fire, bring your own firewood. Taking bark or wood from living trees is not allowed and damages the environment
• Showing respect for nature makes the mountain experience even better!
