Just to try to put my question in perspective, I'll go over the points:
Wind is about 15 knots from the east. Some turbulance due to the buildings
hangar faces east so the wind is blowing into the open hangar
No unrestrained children
No moron adults
Sunny day
Had sandwiches for lunch
I never use less than 8 poo tickets after the job
I haven't been to this pad on a regular basis.
I don't want fuel
We are only 4 pob in a 206L
(and like the pilot in the original post, I have just made a safe, good looking approach and terminated in the hover facing the hangar.)
Now, do I turn into wind and put the tailrotor towards the hangar or do I land facing the direction of any possible problems?
Again I will say that the pilot on the day did everything safely, from coming in to going out. It was the direction of landing that got me thinking, is there a good way or is any direction okay?

22Clipper, didn't get either, radar too expensive, no really good place to put the stormscope antena so now have to tough it out, or as someone once said, "harden F#$%en up". Don't do much at night or in really ****ty weather so not too much of a bother.

Thanks for the opinions guys, my first post may have been a little vague.
