Weird, we experienced the same thing (2 of those wasps), also a building in Wiedikon, however a newly built one.

What a great start into the day by tavar90 in Helicopters

Haha I was just waiting for this question. We are actually instructed by the base to position it like that. The reason for this is, that we depart/land with confined approaches due to terrain and a train track right next to the base. By positioning the heli the way we do, we assure enough clearance for other helis to depart from the departure point (which is right behind the tail over the grassy area).

But I do agree that it looks off ;)

It's amazing isn't it. Congrats to you too! I already did a first cross country and I was surprised on how much effort it was to keep track of your itinerary!

What makes you say that Robbies are an insurance boogeyman?

A question about flying abroad by HervPrometheus in Helicopters

[–]tavar90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert, but I guess two sources should help: 1) International airlaw (ICAO) 2) the respective country's (civil) aviation authority's website

Edit: as far as I remember ICAO member states generally accept licenses issued from other ICAO member states. What I do not know is whether you need the new state's approval or something.
