EASA - UNCERTIFIED HELIPAD LANDING

Описание: A former world rally champion and helicopter pilot needs to land on an uncertified private helipad with a friend.
Statistics tell us that many accidents happen during this type of landing, so how can he perform the best preparation and recce to land safely at destination?

Pilots need proper preparation and in-flight decision-making to land on an uncertified helipad. They should always have a Plan B (and C) and never be afraid to make a go around or divert to an alternate airfield.
