Childish personal attack deleted - Heliport





It still beats me how, as a 6000hr pilot you failed to see a 500 metre strip, hangar and windsock directly opposite, (75 metres away) on the other side of the road.

Like everything else in life its all very well untill some thing goes wrong.
Regardless of Rule 5,trespass, chips in car paint work, or obtaining the owners permission first,
You have just landed, engine at flight idle cooling down , suddenly the labradors roar out and start circling the helicopter. Its too late when they have spoilt your tail rotor paint work!!!! Same thing applies with inquisitive children. I still maintain a courteous phone call first will eliminate any potential problems.

I stand by my original post's comment
35 Knot wind? when was that then??
Established heli pad? I live within a few miles of the pub, use that road daily and have never seen, or heard of a heli in there before.
