Helicopters: where they may land
In France an aircraft takes off and lands on an aerodrome, and a helicopter may also use a hélistation, an aerodrome for helicopters only. Outside aerodromes, a helicopter lands only now and then, on a site called a hélisurface: fewer than 200 movements a year and fewer than 20 a day, a landing and a take-off counting as two.
The pilot needs the agreement of whoever has the use of the land, a habilitation issued by a prefect and insurance for damage to third parties. Outside towns no authorisation is needed beforehand, though a prefect may require a declaration or ban a site; inside towns, hélisurfaces are banned unless the prefect grants a special authorisation, kept for certain public transport or aerial work flights.
These hotels near Beaune say on their own sites that they have a helicopter landing area; ask them before you fly:
- Hostellerie de Levernois · Levernois
- Château de Sainte-Sabine · Sainte-Sabine
- Château de Saulon · Saulon-la-Rue
- Château de Chailly · Chailly-sur-Armançon
