  • An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote.

About Black Hills Aerial Adventures

Black Hills Aerial Adventures has flown helicopter tours in South Dakota for more than 30 years, locally owned and operated, from four heliports: near Crazy Horse Memorial in Custer, at Mount Rushmore in Keystone, at the entrance to Badlands National Park in Interior and, for the Sturgis rally, in Rapid City.

Its tours range from short discovery flights to an 80 mile ultimate aerial adventure, covering Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Black Elk Peak, the highest point east of the Rockies, Sylvan Lake, the southern Hills and the Badlands, with group tours and charters. It operates under FAA authorisation for aerial tours and trains its pilots beyond FAA requirements.

It holds a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award and a five star rating. For Black Hills visitors, it covers both the granite peaks and the Badlands.
