I totally accept what you are saying, all facts and figures and everything. My main point is that Blackpool have a specified insurance cover required for GA, whereas most airfields don't have anything specifeid or printed in airfield information guides.
I'm not bothered that the heli's have two crew, are under radar coverage etc etc, I am just warning other GA pilots to check their insurance liability if flying to Blackpool as it may not provide the coverage required.
My friend had actually said his club aircraft weren't allowed to fly to Blackpool because of the heli's and upon noticing the specific insurance requirments, maybe I tied the two together. If Scatsca, Aberdeen etc have more movements good for them. Final time I say it and irrespective of the heli's:- make sure your insurance liability will cove you when flying into Blackpool!!!
