Is there a helicopter that can land on water?
Is there a helicopter that can land on water? An amphibious helicopter is a helicopter that is intended to land on and take off from both land and water.
Why is it so hard to land a helicopter?
But landing a helicopter in a confined area is actually very difficult. It requires precise use of the controls, and the ability to hover the helicopter without moving it at all in the horizontal plane. For this reason it is something which is not learned until quite late on in the Private Pilots' course.
What is not allowed on a helicopter?
Objects and substances prohibited for air transportation include weapons, explosives, flammable substances, as well as items that are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons – so-called “dual use items.” You may not bring such items through security checkpoints without authorization.
Are water landings safe?
Because landing with a high speed and an unstable gear like landing floats, the problem is that if the floats lean down too much into water they generate a lot of drag while the plane still has thrust, causing the plane to spin over and face the water.
