How do you know: (1) how many rotaries arrive each year; (2) what it cost them originally to make the ground solid, put fencing around, do the H, put up a windsock, etc ... might have been £10-20K of work; (3) what then costs them each year to maintain that, and to pay for insurance ... maybe it's £2K per year, or more?; (4) when for each landing, they have to prepare and keep paperwork, send staff to go and make sure people are not outside in the area of the helipad? etc. I appreciate you venting your frustration, but lets get some facts next and then decide ... £2K landing fee, yes that would be outrageous .... £30 landing fee, probably not covering yearly/total costs ... £150, hard to tell ...
