5.0 Control of Crane Movement in the Vicinity of Landing Areas
5.1 Cranes can adversely distract pilots' attention during helicopter approach and take-off from the helicopter landing area as well as infringe fixed obstacle protected surfaces. Therefore it is essential that when helicopter movements take place (±5 mins) crane work ceases and jibs, etc. are positioned clear of the obstacle protected surfaces and flight paths.
5.2 The Officer(s) in charge of helicopter landing area operations team(s) should be responsible for the control of cranes in preparation for and during helicopter operations.
