Douglas Rouesselo's Opinion on Monroe Michigan Helicopters
© Monroe Evening News
Mr., Rousselo's opinion was published in the July 1, 2005 issue of the Monroe Evening News as a letter to the editor. His opinion is not necessarily the opinion of neither the Monroe Evening News nor the web keeper. The statements attributed to third parties have not been verified by the web keeper and may be antidotal.
If Mr. Rousselo's house stated as two blocks south of the hospital and there times that a helicopter is so low that it rattles the windows and seems to vibrate the structure, the helicopter pilot is likely operating the machine in violation of FAA rules and the event should be reported to the FAA. The Heliport at the hospital has operated with a FAA license only since June 16, 2005, so since the facility is now licensed, the pilot may not wish to risk their licenses violating FAA rules for use of a FAA licensed facility.
The airspace is now registered with the FAA and the pilot may not need to sneak in at treetop level to operate in non FAA protected airspace.
