Tell us who's flying

We use your weights for the FAA-required weight & balance before the flight. We'll never share or store them after the flight is complete.

Combined passenger weight: 0 lb Maximum 600 lb combined
Why we ask for weight (and what 600 lb means)

The Robinson R-44 we fly has a maximum gross weight of 2,500 lb and an FAA-defined CG envelope. With our standard configuration (~1,510 lb empty + 260 lb pilot + 30 gal fuel ≈ 1,950 lb), there's about 550–600 lb left for passengers. Knowing each passenger's weight lets us seat the group for an in-envelope flight and confirm we can carry everyone safely. If your group's combined weight is close to the cap, we may suggest two short flights instead of one — we'll be in touch.
