Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WingWalking with Ethel Dares
Safety is our absolute priority. All our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards and undergo regular inspections. Our pilots are highly experienced professionals with thousands of hours of flying time.
You'll be securely strapped into a specially designed harness system, and we provide comprehensive safety briefings before every flight. WingWalking has been performed safely for decades when proper procedures are followed.
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes that won't flap around in the wind. We recommend:
- Long trousers (jeans are perfect)
- Long-sleeved top or jacket
- Closed-toe shoes (trainers or boots)
- Avoid loose clothing, scarves, or jewelry
We'll provide you with a flying suit, helmet, and goggles for your safety and comfort.
Your total experience will last approximately 2-3 hours, which includes:
- Registration and briefing (30 minutes)
- Getting suited up and safety checks (20 minutes)
- Flight time (10-15 minutes)
- Debrief and certificate presentation (15 minutes)
The actual flight time is typically 10-15 minutes, but this will feel like a lifetime of excitement!
For safety reasons, we have the following restrictions:
- Age: Minimum 18 years old (or 16-17 with parental consent)
- Weight: Maximum 95kg (15 stone)
- Height: Maximum 6'2" (188cm)
- Fitness: Reasonable level of fitness required
If you have any medical conditions or concerns, please contact us to discuss before booking.
WingWalking is weather dependent for safety reasons. We cannot fly in:
- Strong winds (over 15mph)
- Rain or low cloud
- Poor visibility conditions
If we need to postpone your experience due to weather, we'll offer you alternative dates at no extra charge. We'll usually make the decision on the day, as weather conditions can change quickly.
Your safety is our priority, so we'd rather reschedule than risk flying in unsuitable conditions.
