So no 205s, 212s, 214s, UH-1s in the hills either?

Think being aware of rotors and having wind limits makes sense, but avoiding mast bumping is about training and awareness.

And that is why there are a lot of Robbie accidents, esp R44: Low cost helicopter meets low experience pilot flying in a low discipline environment.
