However, never having owned a helicopter I cannot possibly advise this good gentleman. I do, however, own a largish boat and although it gives me a great deal of pleasure
The way it's been raining up there during "the drought", just loan him the boat..
To fly to work?? No doubt he's had to find some excuse for his other half for having the aircraft......
But apart from "flying to work" what does he really want to do with it?
Seriously, though. It's only 9 nm from Bakewell to Chesterfield. I know the A619 can be a slow road at busy times but by the time he's got the helicopter out of bed, warmed it up, flown over, landed, put it to bed, he'd be quicker driving. Not to mention the days when the clouds are sitting on the hills by Cutthorpe...
Where in Bakewell and Chesterfield would he be expecting to land? Congested area Rule 5 permissions, single engine restrictions, etc all need to be in the melting pot.
