Helo Regs
Helicopters are able to take off and land almost anywhere. However, it would be very easy to regulate them out of existence for all but government authorities and O&G. Tough enough regs will prevent ALL private helo accidents.
Surely a private operation should be allowed to operate from a private property without regulator surveys being required.
Regs are for the blind obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men. If it is found that this accident happened in conditions below minima, then the law will have its say. If not, it may end up CFIT for no reason other than human error.
