You
should be agile as embarking and disembarking is difficult and
requires flexibility. Please be advised this may not be suitable for
persons who are pregnant, suffer from epilepsy, fits, severe head
injuries, recurrent fainting, giddiness or blackouts, high blood
pressure, or heart conditions. For their own safety diabetics may be
required to produce a medical certificate. No previous flying
experience is required. Disabled are welcome (subject to the type of
handicap).
If in doubt please consult your doctor and/or contact
us.
