Third-party liability is a critical issue for helicopter landing site owners and pilots, with potential legal and financial repercussions. Misunderstandings can lead to damages or injuries during operations at unconventional sites. Effective communication, adequate insurance, and coordination tools like Helipaddy are essential for mitigating risks and enhancing safety in helicopter operations.
Starting January 2024, helipads in the UK must have a Border Force Certificate of Agreement (CoA) to handle international flights. This involves a security and immigration standards check. Operators must apply, providing detailed information and facilities.
Helicopter indemnities are complex and often unreliable for protecting landowners from potential damages. Issues include verifying a pilot’s insurance validity and compliance. A more effective approach involves landowners ensuring duty of care and maintaining adequate third-party liability insurance for robust protection against risks.
The HISC site code makes landings unambiguous for Operators and other users regardless of where they are in the world.
