Please Review the Jumpseat terms & conditions below

Note:

This is a very small seat, it is not suitable for persons with impeded mobility or range of motion.

If you do not meet the height and weight requirements, Shortstop Jet Charter cannot guarantee a booking for the jump seat. Tentative bookings may be put in place and assessment made on the day of your flight by staff if you believe you do not meet the requirements listed above.

Regardless of pre-assessment, the captain of the aircraft has the authority to deny anyone the jump seat if they deem the candidate unsuitable upon arrival.

 

The third crew member seat in the cockpit of the DC-3 (normally used for a third pilot or training captain) is available for a passenger to occupy during takeoff and landing, subject to the captains discretion, and provided that you have normal mobility. 

For Takeoff from Essendon you’ll board the aircraft prior to general loading of the other passengers, and will be able to observe all the pre departure and takeoff procedures.

For Takeoff from King Island you will be installed prior to departure. You will be briefed on Safety Factors, and plugged into the crew intercom system (no discussion with the crew is permitted prior to completion of takeoff, but you may video or take photos).

After takeoff, on attaining altitude, you’ll be escorted back to your assigned seat in the cabin.
