Red eye,,,,
Im sure the AIP will in now way overrule the ability to safely conduct a flight to and from the airport!
Couple hundred yards out to sea and couple hundred feet high, no floats, one engine, people in back seats,,,but im sure the pilot would have been able to safelly autorotate to land in the event of a failure?
Im not bleating on about it, really im not, i see things like it week in, week out, up and down the country, im sure we all do.
5. Helicopter Operations
a. All helicopters are expected to make approaches from, and depart to, the west to minimise environmental impact on airport neighbours, unless
weather conditions dictate otherwise
