A little planning can help you fly safely near helicopter landing sites.
You may find helicopter landing sites at hospitals, emergency service facilities and other locations. Helicopters can arrive quickly and may approach from different directions.
Before you launch:
check for nearby helicopter landing sites using a CASA-verified drone safety app
look and listen for helicopter activity
choose a clear area where you can land safely.
If you are within 1.4 km of a helicopter landing site, stay alert for helicopter activity.
If a helicopter is nearby, taking off or landing, move your drone away and land safely.
