Our Mission
To provide safe, professional, and unforgettable helicopter experiences while showcasing the natural beauty of New Brunswick from above.
Experience & Safety
All flights are operated by an experienced, professionally licensed pilot and conducted in full compliance with Transport Canada regulations. Safety, comfort, and customer experience are at the core of every flight.
Our Aircraft
Flying 2C is operated by veteran commercial pilot Ron Fournier — 25+ years of experience across Canada, and a deep passion for showcasing New Brunswick from above.
Demographics
All ages can participate on our tours; however, it is required that all children under 2 must be held in the lap of a responsible adult (per Transport Canada Regulations). Children under 2, not occupying a seat, may be carried free of charge when traveling with a paying adult. Please let Flying 2C Helicopters know at the time of booking your tour what the child’s estimated weight on the date of the flight is, as well as their date of birth. Per liability and insurance guidelines, Flying 2C Helicopters is unable to accommodate more than one lap child per tour. If you have two lap children in your booking party, a seat would need to be purchased for the second child, but they could still be held by an adult during the flight. Children older than 2 years of age are required to purchase a seat at the regular price.
Due to liability, Flying 2C Helicopters’ staff is not permitted to lift or physically support passengers into and out of the aircraft beyond offering a steadying hand. The safety of our employees and our customers is paramount. Passengers with physical limitations requiring physical support of others will need to be traveling with a family member(s) or caretaker(s) that have the ability to attend to the passengers’ needs. Neither Flying 2C Helicopters’ aircraft or vehicles are equipped with mechanical lifts.
Weight and seating policies
There is a weight restriction of a maximum of 275 lbs. per person. If there is a discrepancy in the passenger’s actual weight (all passengers will be discretely weighed on a calibrated scale at check-in) versus their stated weight (the weight given when booking), and an approved Weight and Balance may not be reached, Flying 2C Helicopters has the right to deny a passenger boarding yet they will still be responsible for the cost of their unoccupied seat. Any passenger 275 lbs. and over is required to purchase an additional seat.
It is imperative that the passenger weights given at the time of booking a tour are as accurate as possible (and include clothing, shoes and any carry-on items). Aircraft weight and balance is vital to the safety of every air tour and is required by Transport Canada. Flying 2C Helicopters pilot approves the weight and center of gravity for each flight to ensure the correct stability and handling of the aircraft. Any change in weight from the time of booking to actual flight time can affect the entire balance of the aircraft.
If you believe anyone in your booking party may need to update their stated weight, please contact our office as soon as possible.
Pilot chooses seat selection for weight and balance safety reasons.
