It can be very lucrative if the operation is slick and smoothly controlled, and it's also an ideal opportunity to promote aviation in general, so everyone should take care to ensure that the customer's association with aircraft (and the Company) is a happy one. The machine must therefore be handled smoothly with no sharp manoeuvres, unless they're specifically asked for, with all passengers being in agreement. The only types of flying generally recommended are spot turns and sideways movement in the hover and normal climb, descent and cruise. Oddly enough, hovering manoeuvres are quite popular, but not good commercially, as you need to give them their money's worth, so you should keep the rhythm going.
Because ground idle isn’t officially counted, your turnaround time does not affect the revenue per flying hour, but, obviously, the quicker you are, the more cash you have in your pocket at the end of the day. The duration of the trip itself is what determines productivity – the shorter it is, the more you get, but regard 2. -3 minutes as the minimum before you get complaints.
On top of the public actually flying, there will also be those attending the associated event, so don't forget the exemption to fly close to assemblies of lots of people. Sites must be organised and staffed to afford the maximum safety for all concerned.
The size and location of the site, the type of event and anticipated numbers need to be noted and a site inspection arranged before you start. This must be done by someone who knows the requirements, such as a qualified pilot, because positioning must be paid for as well, and if the site turns out to be unsuitable and is rejected on the day, you've all wasted your time.
Look at a site's physical characteristics and position relative to areas available for emergency vehicles, together with those for the aircraft. For instance, it may be acceptable for crosswind takeoffs (if performance is OK) if emergency vehicle access is better in that direction. You are also allowed some discretion if an otherwise perfect location is spoiled by one or two major obstacles which can simply be avoided by curving the flight path (there might be a tree in the middle), but an airfield should be alright on this point.
The authorities should be notified at least 7 days beforehand, as must local emergency services.

Running The Site
On the day, you should check your area is roped off properly, and is the same as was agreed originally— beware of tents and marquees creeping up on you. If you don't use the agreed area, then (by arrangement) you will have to inform the authorities within a few days as they will have been informed of the original plans.
Next, find the organisers and check for other activities that may affect you, like aerobatics, balloons or parachuting (rotors must be stopped for the latter in UK). Give them an idea of what you want the announcements to sound like (preferably every half hour) about your activities, and let them know your start time. If they have free seats, you will need a positive means of identifying whoever gets them.
