Hi everyone,
Other than loving anything with an engine, the nearest I get to helicopters as a woodsman is watching Sycamore seeds fall from the sky. I did have a great time in the TA as a Royal Engineer Sapper around helicopters bringing personnel etc. but never got to fly in one.
I have been asked to plant a wood close to a house with a helicopter landing site between the house and the proposed woodland site (all the same property). I could do with knowing how far away the trees have to be to ensure the rotors don't finish up ppruning - sorry couldn't resist that one
the trees.
So it is the safe distance from rotor tip to trees I need. Are there CAA regs that cover this?
I've emailed British Helecopter Assoc. but I haven't had a response yet and could do with knowing sooner rather than later
Many thanks
