German Helicopter Rules

Dear PY,
I flew my Mooney to Berlin Schonhagen a couple of months ago and was very surprised to hear the rules re: helicopters in Germany.

According to a fellow Mooney pilot and R44 pilot it is against the law to land anywhere other than an airfield in Germany.

Something to do with WWII and jews escaping apparently.

He told me that there are 1 or 2 heliports but that one is unable to fly from one's home to another private location (kinda defeats the advantages that helicopters have over fixed wing).

Munich, which I also vivited in my Mooney last year is a beautiful and lively city but the GA fraternity there lost their little airfield some time ago and there is nowhere else to go than the big international airport.

Good luck with your search, I am sure you will find somewhere,

SB
