Do helicopters need permission to fly?
So in summary, as long as a helicopter has the permission of the owner, has enough space to land the copter, and obeys all local laws and restrictions, it can land nearly anywhere it wants to land. Most helicopter pilots are specifically trained to land in a variety of spaces, including those listed above.
Which of the following published VFR routes require a clearance from ATC?
Class B Airspace
Class B Airspace VFR Transition Routes. These routes include specific ATC‐assigned altitudes, and pilots must obtain an ATC clearance prior to entering Class B airspace on the route.
Who is responsible for an ATC clearance to be safe in respect to terrain clearance?
pilot
The pilot is responsible for obstacle or terrain clearance. 14 CFR Section 91.119, Minimum safe altitudes: General.
What is Bravo clearance?
For a bit of background “Bravo airspace” or “Class B airspace” is the term for the airspace around the busiest airports in the country. You need special clearance to enter this airspace.
What do pilots need to know about ATC clearances?

When do you need an ATC clearance for VFR flight?
An ATC clearance must be obtained prior to operating within a Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E surface area when the weather is less than that required for VFR flight.
When to issue landing clearance to a helicopter?
Issue landing clearances to helicopters going to movement areas other than active runways or from diverse directions to points on active runways, with additional instructions as necessary. Whenever possible, issue a landing clearance in lieu of extended hover-taxi or air-taxi operations.
How does ATC effect separation of aircraft vertically?
ATC effects separation of aircraft vertically by assigning different altitudes; longitudinally by providing an interval expressed in time or distance between aircraft on the same, converging, or crossing courses, and laterally by assigning different flight paths.
