was surprised at how many people were unsure of the "rules" regarding putting down in a field somewhere.
Now there is a big red flag and in the UK, the rule books outweigh the aircraft.
Rules are if your gonna continue and die,you set it down. If someone decides to throw rules at you at least it wont be at your memorial.
Very fortunate in the states as I have had to land in more than one farm or property in 38 years of helicopter flying. Never had a problem. Understandbly in the middle of downtown Dallas is going to get someone upset and they will thumb through all the books to find something you violated, rather than be helpful. Let me say if I had too I certainly would not think twice in landing in downtown anywhere. Rule book boys can send me a letter.
