Helicopter landing sites

[ukminch]

Pretty damn far.

 

Pilots do not like landing heli if the trees are anywhere near the pad.

 

I disagree having been in a chinook in some interesting landings:001_tt2:

We're not talking Chinook or anything else with a jet engine. It's a piston engined 4 seater.

 

I can't believe there is not regs on this. A wood will or could affect the air flow over the hls. Military pilots spend a lot of time training in airframes designed to operate at the edge of the safety envelope. A private pilot in a RB44 could come very unstuck very quickly.

 

It will intetesting to see what you come up with...

:lol: nice one BB

 

More seriously, surely this should be for the pilot (perhaps the owner??) to determine surely, as it is within his remit/training/experience etc not to mention his interests rather than leave it to the arb department - capable as they may be??

Tinker - I see you're getting some good advice from pprune - sorry, forgot to mention they can sometimes be a 'jokey' bunch, but they usually come up with the goods... eventually!

Thanks everyone,

 

The solution is quite simple but as each case is bound to be different I'm not giving the answer here. Seek professional advice from the appropriate body and all that.

 

Thanks again:thumbup1::thumbup1:

Bolt a saw to the tips of the rotors. It be self-determining then......

 

 

This might help as well:

Hi lowerforest. thanks very much for the link, they're a good bunch. I'm very much into planes, I grew up watching Lancasters, other multi engines and single seaters flying low over our house. My first Airfix model was an English Electric Lightning. I'll stop there before I give you my life history.

 

Thanks again.:thumbup1:

 

Cheers

you're welcome, Tinker - would be nice to see a picture of the completed project sometime - complete with helicopter landing safely!
