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](https://www.levernois.com/en/map.html) · Levernois - [Château de Sainte-Sabine](https://www.saintesabine.com/en/map.html) · Sainte-Sabine - [Château de Saulon](https://chateau-saulon.com/en/contact-us/) · Saulon-la-Rue - [Château de Chailly](https://www.chailly.com/en/map.html) · Chailly-sur-Armançon ## Questions about flying in ### Where can a private jet land near Beaune? At Chalon-Champforgeuil, 22 min from Beaune, with a 1,440 m paved runway and Jet A1, or at Dijon-Bourgogne (35 min, 2,400 m) and Dole-Jura (45 min, 2,230 m), which have customs on request for flights from outside the Schengen area. Beaune-Challanges has a 910 m paved runway rated for aircraft up to 5.7 t and only 100LL. ### Can a helicopter land at a hotel or a domaine near Beaune? Yes, on its land, as an occasional hélisurface: the pilot needs the agreement of whoever has the use of the land and a habilitation from a prefect, and a site takes fewer than 200 movements a year. Near Beaune, the Hostellerie de Levernois, the Château de Sainte-Sabine, the Château de Saulon and the Château de Chailly say on their own sites that they have a landing area; ask before you fly. ### How does the driver meet us at an airfield?
