Great article.
I have read several by Pat Malone and they are all extremely well written, hopefully helping to convince non-pilots about the joys of helicopter flight
.
I think the Heli-Air mention is simply because they (and their agents) are the number 1 purveyors of Robbos in the UK.
I was rather dismayed to read that you can insure an R44 for £5000.
What am I doing wrong - my premium is double that!
Good news about property value going up if you have a helipad (by £250k!!)
AFAIK after 10 years of constant use you get "grandfathered in" helipad rights - oh well, only 5 more years to go... and the helo might turn out to not be such a loss leader after all.
