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. How we check operators.
About Raven Helicopters
Raven Helicopters is a helicopter tour and charter company based at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, east of San Diego. It flies a Robinson R44, and all of its tours depart from Gillespie Field.
Its 30 minute tour offers two routes. The coastal route passes Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the original home of the Top Gun school, on the way to the Torrey Pines cliffs and the Pacific. The downtown route flies over Mount Helix, Dictionary Hill and San Diego Bay.
A 45 minute North County coastal tour covers Sycamore Canyon, Miramar, the estates of Rancho Santa Fe and the coast from Solana Beach and Fletcher Cove to the Del Mar Racetrack. The 60 minute Ultimate San Diego tour combines the downtown and North County routes and adds Black's Beach, La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Cove, with its sea lions and sea caves.
The company also offers private charter flights over San Diego and sells gift certificates. It publishes 360 degree videos of some of its routes so passengers can preview the views. For visitors to San Diego, its tours cover the city's coast, bays and canyons in a single flight.
