But, whatever you do, please don't do what I heard yesterday:

"Somewhere Radio, helicoptor Commercial 5, we're about 3 miles south of your southern boundary, we'd like to fly over your boundary, to the west of the airfield, and then we'll position to the fuel bowser for fuel, a rotors-running refuel I think, and after we've refueled we'll shut down, maybe taxi to the parking area first and then shut down and, erm, after we've shut down, we'll, well, we'll go and get a cup of tea or something."

Actual quote, almost word-for-word, with the name of the airfield and the callsign changed for anonymity, but the callsign very obviously belonged to a commercial operator.
