Can the helicopter land anywhere?
No but every endeavour will be made to land as near as is possible to the requested area keeping the safety of the passengers first and foremost; however, certain legal requirements have to be taken into consideration with regard to size and suitability of the landing site. Generally, landings other than at an airfield are only subject to the land owner’s and surrounding neighbours' permission. to the top

Can I use my electronic devices in flight?
It is advisable that people do not use equipment such as laptops or PDAs.

However, your pilot can advise you during the flight when you may us your device(s) temporarily. to the top
How low can we fly?
This depends on several factors, including the terrain we are flying over and what the flight is for. Generally, over built-up areas, the aircraft will stay above 1000ft whilst over areas that are not built up, the aircraft can fly down to 500 ft. For aerial photography, filming, and other such operations, these restrictions may not apply given proper clearances. to the top
