The flightseeing industry has attracted little attention from leisure, recreation, and tourism researchers. To address this gap, the flightseeing industry is reviewed with an emphasis on the potential physical risk managed by flightseeing operators and the legal system under which they operate. The paper firstly discusses the nature of flightseeing and describes two recent flightseeing accidents. The nature of general aviation risk and the aviation legal system is then briefly outlined. Following this, selected aviation court cases are reviewed in consideration of the extent and responsibility for passenger injury, the forms of injury compensated by courts, and flight operators' duty of care to passengers. The paper concludes by summarising the risk management implications for flightseeing operators arising from available air transport information sources and the reviewed aviation court cases
