Circuit Basher
A lot of helicopters operate from private sites and do not visit airfields unless they have to, autos and confined areas are practiced throughout the countryside. If proposals to alter the 500ft rule go ahead then weekends at your local airfield will be used by heli pilots wanting to practice skills and do circuits. That will not please nearby residents or the fixed wing fraternity. Helicopter training was stopped at BHX over 10yrs ago due to conflicts with fixed wing - I had to fly students from Birmingham down to Wellesbourne to practice engine failures and circuits.
