FLYING WITH PASSION AND PURPOSE

The Association reserves the right to decline any Flight Request for any reason whatsoever.

The Association’s ability to carry out a Flight Request is dependent on pilot availability. The Association relies on volunteer pilots to do the flying. Out of consideration to our pilots, the Association requests that you work with its office staff to accommodate their schedules.

The Association requires each beneficiary, within two weeks of a mission having been flown,

to submit to the Association a Post-Flight Report (as a Word document) together with Captioned Photographs (as individual JPEG files). Failure to submit the Post-Flight Report and Photos within two weeks of completion of a mission shall result in any future flight request being rejected.

The Association is entirely dependent on donations in order to offer a ‘free of charge’ aerial service. Accordingly, the Association will be grateful for any donations that may be made.

The Association reserves the right to include any representatives of the media on any mission.

In the event that you, your organisation or any other party involved in this mission, issue a media release, including but not limited to printed, online and social media, detailing this mission, you agree to acknowledge the Association in same.

The copyright in and to all imagery (including, without limitation, film, video, digital and photographic imagery) taken during the mission shall vest jointly in yourselves and the Association, on the basis that –

you shall be entitled to use such imagery as you deem fit and for your own profit or reward; and

(the Association shall be entitled to use such imagery as it deems fit and for its own profit or reward.

You agree to:

furnish the Association, free of charge, with a copy of the master, original or negatives, as the case may be, of the final product in relation to such imagery;

allow the Association, at its own cost, to make copies of any other imagery taken during the mission which is not included in the final product referred to above;

provide the Association, within two weeks of a flight having taken place, with a written report and captioned photographs describing your flight objectives and findings. These will be used in our newsletters and various reports.

Please note that it is the responsibility of passenger/s to arrange appropriate insurance cover for any and all flights. Neither the Association nor the volunteer pilot member provides insurance cover for any passenger/s.

All flight requests are to be directed to the Board of Directors of The Bateleurs by way of a duly completed Flight Request Form and not to individual Bateleurs pilots who are not members of the Board of Directors. You agree not to approach Bateleurs pilots for the purpose of making a Flight Request unless they are also members of the Board of Directors or unless this has been authorised by the Board of Directors.

If the Flight Request is made on behalf of a juristic entity, the person who submits the online form Flight Request warrants, by his submission, that he has authority to accept the terms and conditions on behalf of that juristic entity.

Please feel free to include any background information that would help us better understand your request. All Flight Requests are brought before the Board of Directors for review. After the Board of Directors has reviewed the information, we will contact you to discuss your request.
