DGCA oversight
Flights operate under the oversight of Indonesia’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation and its safety regulations.
Safety & Compliance
Safety Comes Before the View
Every flight operates under Indonesia’s DGCA oversight, with licensed pilots, maintained aircraft, a weather check and a full briefing before take-off.
Our Safety Framework
The Foundations
The standards every flight is held to, whichever route or aircraft you choose.
Aircraft & Maintenance
Kept to the Manufacturer’s Schedule
Airworthiness is a routine, not an event. Here is how the aircraft are kept ready to fly.
-
Bell H125
Single-engine turbine helicopter with large windows, for up to 5–6 guests.
-
Robinson R66
A lighter turbine helicopter for up to 3 guests and a more intimate flight.
-
Every check recorded
Maintenance follows Bell and Robinson schedules, and every inspection and part change is logged.
The aircraft depends on group size and route. We confirm it when you book.
Before Every Flight
From Check-In to Take-Off
The same sequence runs before every departure from the DPS heliport.
-
Weather check
Visibility, wind and cloud are reviewed along the planned route.
-
Flight plan & clearance
The route is filed and coordinated with air-traffic control at Ngurah Rai.
-
Safety briefing
Every passenger is briefed on boarding and exit, seatbelts and emergency procedures.
-
Boarding
You board under crew guidance with loose items secured, and the pilot completes final checks.
Arrive in good time for your briefing — it is part of the flight, not an extra.
If the weather or the aircraft isn’t right, we don’t fly. The view can wait.

Ask a Safety Question
Mon–Sat · 08:00–17:00 WITA
Who regulates helicopter tours in Bali?
Indonesia’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Our flights operate under its oversight and the country’s civil aviation safety regulations.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The pilot decides. If conditions are unsuitable, the route is adjusted or the flight moves to another time, and we contact you to rearrange.
How are the helicopters maintained?
To the schedules set by Bell and Robinson, by licensed engineers, with each inspection and component change recorded in the aircraft logbooks.
Will I get a safety briefing?
Yes. Every passenger is briefed before boarding on entry and exit, seatbelts and emergency procedures.
Is it safe to fly in the wet season?
The wet season, Nov–Mar, brings more cloud and rain. A weather check decides every departure; the dry season, Apr–Oct, usually brings steadier conditions.
