Safety policy

The pilot in command makes the final safety decision for every flight.

SkyFuns is a platform that connects private pilots and passengers who want to join a seat. Pilots need to upload licence and medical certificate documents and a proper review of those documents are carried out internally. This review is not an official validation by an aviation authority. Flights offered on Skyfuns are conducted under non-commercial general aviation rules on a cost-sharing environment by private pilots. These flights are not commercial air transport services. As such, the regulatory requirements, operational standards, and oversight applicable to these flights differ from those governing commercial airline operations. Passengers should be aware that the level of safety associated with non-commercial general aviation may be different from that of commercial air transport. Flights are typically operated by a single pilot holding a private pilot license, and aircraft are maintained under private standards. By booking a flight, passengers acknowledge and accept these differences.

We request pilot licence and medical certificate uploads before flights are published. Document review is internal and based on records submitted by each pilot. Flight safety responsibility and final go/no-go decisions are always made by the pilot.

What SkyFuns checks and what we do not claim

Before a pilot can list flights, we request identity details, licence information, and medical certificate information. We verify that these documents appear valid and current for platform use.

SkyFuns does not certify pilots and does not verify documents directly with National Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs). The pilot is solely responsible for ensuring all required documents are valid and up to date in accordance with applicable regulations.

Requested documents: Pilot licence, medical certificate, and supporting identity information.
Verification scope: Internal manual review only, based on information provided by the pilot.
Pilot authority: The pilot in command is solely responsible for safe operation and final flight decisions.

Do you verify licences with aviation authorities?

No. We review pilot-submitted documents for internal platform checks only. We do not verify licences with National Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs). Pilots are also responsible for ensuring their documents are valid and meet all legal requirements.

Who makes the final flight safety decision?

The pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall have final authority as to the disposition of the aircraft while in command.

What happens if weather conditions are not safe?

The pilot may delay, reroute, or cancel the flight. Safety decisions take priority over schedule.
