That’s the noise the helo makes, only a LOT louder. Around 110 decibels. That’s why ear protection is a must.
Last night was the Helispot Ground Training class, the course that teaches you how to manage a helicopter landing zone. And by the way, one of the first things we were told is the correct term for the place where the helicopter lands is a “Helispot” not “LZ”.
Well, ok.
What we do looks like this…
…only we do it with helicopters, in a field… not jets on a runway. However, the basic idea is the same.
The lessons learned last night were simple. Have the helo land where you want it to land and try not to get chopped to bits by the rotors.
OK then, I’m ready.
