JimL,

As English is my second language....American being my first.....am I correct to assume....


better that a risk-assessed procedure (for that site) which minimises exposure, is used.
....means that there must be a prior approval from EASA for every such landing site?

I am looking at this from the perspective of doing "Scene Flights".....landing at the sites of automobile crashes where folks are deemed needy of Helicopter Evacuation.

Is my perception correct......that under EASA Rules....only pre-selected and pre-approved landing sites are permissible?

Or....can the Fire Brigade block off a section of roadway or designate a cow pasture or clearing on the edge of the road as a landing site and the helicopter operate to that particular site using a pre=approved procedure?

Is it the procedure or the location that must be approved?
