Angel Flight will fly you as often as necessary until you get better. As long as you have medical appointments or treatments, Angel Flight will provide the transportation for as long and as often as needed.

Most Angel Flight missions are within a 500 mile radius of the pilot's home base airport. The majority of the flights are within a 350 mile radius. Angel Flight serves all the Western states. The maximum length of an Angel Flight West mission is 1,000 miles, although on most occasions, these missions are accomplished by relay flights. We typically do not fly outside the borders of the United States.

If you joined after January 1, 2003, you must meet the minimum qualifications for Command Pilot status to fly flights. If you do not meet these requirements, we have many opportunities for you to assist us in our mission, including flying as a mission assistant (right seat), volunteering in the office, helping to coordinate flights, and so forth. If you do not wish to join after all, please contact the office at (310) 390-2958 and we will refund your membership fee.

Yes. Although we coordinate with Air Traffic Control well in advance, our movement, based on your target location, is still subject to their approval. We will explain any potential problem involved and will not take the job unless we are confident that we can satisfy you. Other permanent restrictions concern: Any sporting event with stadium seating for 30,000 attending (from 1-hour before to 1-hour after the game).

We restrict the number of passengers on a plane. You will very often see that "Maximum Passengers" is less than "Aircraft Seats". Comfort of all passengers is important to us. Therefore, we set the "Maximum Passengers" allowed at less than the seats on the aircraft. You may want to further reduce the "Maximum Passengers" allowed on your plane. For example, you and your spouse may only want to share a light jet with another couple (or two other people).

Although we do not fill our baskets to capacity they are certified to carry 6, 8, 10 and 12 passengers. The average sport balloon carries 2 - 4 people. Technically the volume capacity of the envelope suspended above the basket determines the gross weight the balloon may lift.

Unfortunately, no. The first reason is that our insurance prohibits accompanied scatterings. The second reason is that occasionally the process of saying "goodbye" to someone dear to us can be a highly emotional and trying experience. While flight is inherently as safe as any other transportation, dealing with passengers who are overcome with grief is a major distraction to the pilot and crew and we will not put anyone's safety in jeopardy.

The members of Angel Flight are private pilots (aircraft owners and renters) and non-pilot supporting members whose common interest is in helping others. instrument rating is not necessary to fly on most Angel Flight missions, although we encourage all members to obtain the rating so they will be available for flights under a wider range of conditions. Less-experienced pilots are encouraged to fly as mission assistants and participate in that way.

Angel Flight offers transportation to people whose medical problems make it necessary for them to travel for diagnosis or treatment, and who lack the financial resources for transportation. Angel Flight will also carry, without regard to financial need, people whose condition or location makes it difficult or impossible for them to use other means of transportation.

Most ships have restrictions for pregnant women in their third trimester. Others won't allow you to book the cruise if you are over 24-weeks at the time of sailing. Some cruise lines also require a medical certificate or a letter from your doctor stating your term of pregnancy or due date, any medications you require, and pre-existing medical or physical conditions.

For these passengers whose particular state of physical and mental health is such to require special assistance aboard the aircraft and upon boarding and disembarking, a medical clearance is required: Passengers whose conduct, mental status or physical condition may render them incapable of caring for themselves without assistance or who might be a risk to themselves, to other persons or to the safety of the flight; Passengers that suffer from a disease which is believed to be contagious and cou.

You can book either. You will probably find that there is very little difference in price between booking your car separately and purchasing a Fly Drive. In our experience, we think you will find it more convenient if you ensure that you pick up and drop off your car at the airport. If you need suggestions for flights and car hire, we can help with companies we have used in the past.

Yes, we encourage it! No better way to start an interest in flight instruction and obtaining your private pilot license.

YUL is the airport code. It was recently renamed Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau but all the road signs still say Dorval.

It is highly recommended that a new pilot, not familiar with model aircraft, enlist the help of a trained veteran pilot. They will be able to assist you in learning how to fly before you attempt that first solo flight. There's nothing worse than purchasing a new plane, taking it out to the field for it's maiden flight, and then slamming it into the ground. At this point, many beginner pilots get quite discouraged and quickly lose interest in the hobby. Don't let this happen to you.

All new-hires start out in the C210 Centurion and transition to the Beechcraft Baron when seniority allows. Aircraft are all IFR equipped and current.

Yes. AeroCare has extensive experience in international evacuations around the world. We can arrange for our medical team to transport the patient on a long-range aircraft or as a more cost effective solution, arrange for a stretcher to be placed on a commercial aircraft. Commercial medical escorts can be less than half the cost of a private jet.

You can start to learn to fly at any age, but to go solo you must be 16 years of age and to hold a licence you must be 17. You can continue flying up to any age as long as you can hold a medical.

However, we're unable to fly anyone who is confined to a wheelchair. We may ask you to provide proof of your fitness to fly from your doctor. It is very important that you disclose any medical or physical condition that could be considered to affect your safety or the safety of others.
