Here here the whole point of helicopters is to land and take off in places planes can't,and the risk's involed are are worth it for that very ability.

When you think that private pilots and students go in and out of very small sites without crashing every five minutes, then you might think that a full time pilot in a more powerfull machine should be able to do it any how they think fit.

I believe that we have a duty to protect people on the ground from heli's that might drop in through the roof but if people who use heli's are happy to take what are realy only small risk's, then they should be allowed too.

If those who seem to think you can make things safe by making it harder and harder to carry out flights get their way then they will, there won't be any flights at all.Or maybe we should all just stop listerning to them and self regulate......................
