H5 Helicopters

H5 Helicopters is a helicopter tour and custom charter company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It flies scenic rides across the state, from the Phoenix area to Sedona, the Grand Canyon and mountaintop landing sites. The company says it has more than 35 years of aviation experience.

Standard rides include 35-minute and one-hour scenic flights. Sedona Red Rocks flights and Grand Canyon adventures are also offered. The company says it can plan custom flights around a group, an occasion or a filming project. Itineraries are suggested, and guests can shape them to their own plans.

H5 flies an Airbus AS350 B2 helicopter called SaberCat1. The website says the aircraft carries a pilot and up to five passengers. Certified Airbus airframe and powerplant mechanics service the aircraft. The company says it has had no incidents.

Other services include group outings and venue rentals at its Scottsdale heli hangar. The company also offers aerial filming, lidar and surveying work, and aircraft leasing. Leases can run daily, weekly or monthly. The website also describes a dry lease, where the lessee provides the crew, fuel, maintenance and insurance.

H5 operates an FAA-certified heliport, 81AZ, with a hangar on a private taxiway next to Scottsdale Municipal Airport. The company says its crews plan flight paths to avoid noise sensitive and environmentally sensitive areas. They use GPS equipment to plot the safest route.

The website describes the company's mission as providing safe, comfortable and once-in-a-lifetime flights in the Southwest. It says the company respects the land and the cultures of the native peoples whose lands its flights cross. Guests are picked up from their hotel, according to past customer reviews.

Customers can book a flight by phone or through the contact form. The website includes FAQs, a helicopter specs page and a blog. Testimonials from past guests describe departures from the company's private hangar and tours of Sedona, Meteor Crater and the Painted Desert.
