helicopter landing
Chopper touches down
A helicopter landing is the act of bringing a helicopter down to rest on a surface, or the designated area where this occurs.
Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters can land vertically, allowing them to use small, confined spaces: The rooftop helicopter landing went smoothly.
Landing areas may be marked with an H inside a circle.
