Q. Will I die in a big ball of flames?
A. As a rule, we try not to kill our customers. It’s bad for business. Seriously, we are bound by the rules of South African Civil Aviation Authority, which has the highest safety standards possible. It is extremely unlikely an accident will occur and safety is absolutely paramount to us. If there is EVER, the slightest doubt, we simply won’t fly. Period.

Q. Will the helicopter fall out of the sky like a brick if you turn the engine off?
A. No. Contrary to popular belief, a helicopter will not fall out the sky if the engine cuts. The helicopter can be safely floated to the ground by a manoeuvre called an autorotation, which is practised regularly by all chopper pilots.

Q. I want my proposal to be a surprise; will the pilot blurt something out and ruin it for me?
A. Tell us beforehand and we promise we won’t say a word. If the pilot does let the cat out the bag, we’ll have him kneecapped for you.

Q. I’ve heard it called a helicopter flip; you don’t actually flip the thing over do you?
A. No. Too many people threw up and the cleaning staff complained. Flip in this context means there and back again, not flying upside down. Thankfully.
