London Chopper Access - #inthedarkages
BHA v Vertical Flight Q&A - sums it up?
After reading the brief Q&A I was somewhat struck with the emphasis on BHA’s focus on future unmanned urban mobility.
What about current manned urban mobility?
Rather than ensuring that Battersea continues to maintain it’s monopoly and increasing the numbers of anti-helicopter supporters you’d have thought BHA would be more concerned with the lack of rotary infrastructure for manned ‘urban’ flights?

So - received email today from BHA requesting response by today to CAA’s proposed weather limit changes for SVFR through London zone.
3km and 1000’ ceiling coming into affect very soon - due to plethora of skyscrapers being built with apparent little or no CAA oversight.
Fairly indicative of the industry and BHA effectiveness or a simple indication that helicopter access to our city is not as vital as some would think it is?
Weather limits seem sensible enough and should hopefully expose pilots whom think they don’t apply to themselves.....

To be fair to the BHA EESDL - They have been talking about these new proposed limits ever since they were announced (at pretty short notice) by CAA and I've received multiple emails from them on the subject asking for comment and feedback. Perhaps you need to check your spam filter or older emails?
