Explaining the rules - Non-controlled departures and arrivals - helicopters

Watch an animated explainer for the rules around helicopter departures and arrivals at non-controlled aerodromes.

The video explains what you do and don’t have to do, including where you can land and when you should adopt the standard departure procedure for aeroplanes.

It is based on our Visual Flight Rules Guide (VFRG) - Take-off/departure – non-controlled aerodromes, page 340, and Arrivals – non-controlled aerodromes, page 342.

Refresh your knowledge before your next flight. Find more information about operating in non-controlled airspace in the Pilot safety hub.
