Single Engine Flights Over Cities

But are those routes straight lines across congested and uncongested areas or do they follow less congested routes (roads, rivers, golf courses, parks etc) like the London helilanes?

Download the charts and decide for yourself. They're free, after all.

Looks like the latter in most cases - no different to the London Helilanes. I have flown those in singles with students - the fact that students were flying really didn't make a difference to the probability of an engine failure and you wouldn't let the student fly the EOL anyway.

Indeed. And, like LW, I was trained to 'walk' a single helicopter from EOL site to EOL site as I flew it along. Though some of those sites in some of the cities one might have the skid gear stolen right out from under the aircraft should one need to actually do that EOL.

That puts a new meaning to the term "hostile non-congested".
