Rules regarding landings on High rises
Last night we had the amazing race on T.V. The leg was in Sau Polo in Brazil (or how ever you spell it ) as part of the race the contestants had to ride in a R44. The surprising part was when they landed on top of high rise buildings.
I could be wrong but in New Zealand I am pretty sure you have to have Cat A performance to land on top of a high rise.
Is this the same for the rest of the world or is it usual to use single engine in this role?
Looked like a nightmare for the poor pilots all those Yanks running around the machines making lots of noise.

Didn't see the show, never could understand the point of it.
In Aussie, as far as I know, there are no restrictions on landing on "elevated pads" other than what might be in a particular flight manual. I think as long as you meet or exceed the requirements of the CAAP covering landing sites you only need a minimum of one engine...........
It is a shame that the city of Sydney is so backward in this area, there is no where to land near the city other than Mascot airport.
