This investigation studied helicopter pilot performance and perception in a visual flight rule (VFR) heliport terminal obstacle-rich environment (ORE). Simulations were conducted in September and October 1996 as part of a larger effort focused on examining operational safety at U.S. heliports. Concerns raised by pilots operating at a city-center heliport motivated the study. Although none of the obstacles at this heliport protruded into the minimum recommended approach/departure airspace, pilots and their management complained of safety concerns when operating there. The ORE program was sponsored by the General Aviation and Vertical flight Program Office (AND- 710) of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
