Once upon a time a major British operator removed the Helipad Takeoff from the VMC Basecheck to save money. I could well see them omitting the Vertical IFR Departure for the same reason.
The day came when a crew had to medevac a patient from offshore to Aberdeen Hospital. To depart required a Helipad Takeoff which were not checked out to do so the company had to send a training captain out from Dyce to fly it back.
Allofasudden Helipad Takeoffs were back.
