- I was not going to respond to your posts, but I will ask you what you would do in a helo then if you had insufficient weather conditions to continue safe flight?
well then dont.
landing in an open space not cleared for heli operations in a built up area carries a signficant risk of errm. contact with structures, which are unlit and possibly very difficult to see.
Peter Barnes was an experienced EMS Heli pilot so i'm sure had more expereince of anyone on these boards in putting a heli down in such an area.
what would i do in his situation ? well i cant comment on that, because I, like non of us, know the full situational circumstances of the incident.
