My point is that whatever profile you fly, I've done 365 and 139, the obstacles at Southampton mean you are going to the pad whether you want to or not.

139 had diagonal or straight in helipad profiles but with buildings in front of you your LDP would have to be very high.
Fair point, I forgot the Dauphin/A109 - most mil guys using the RAF HLS wouldn't have the first clue about PC1 though.

But on your specific earlier point about Southampton, I know at least one version of that HLS description that has 3 ways in and out which are possible due to the types used. But it wouldn't be suitable for a big Heli, hence different versions for different companies / types.
