People usually use their cars, bikes, or bicycles to go to their nearest McDonald’s to grab a burger and other food items. However, some people like to take things to the next level. Recently, a video of a man flying his helicopter to a McDonald’s to get a burger has been shared online. In the video, the man was seen landing his helicopter on an empty field and running to McDonald’s to eat a burger. He then flew back in his personal helicopter, and this, we believe, is something you may not have seen before.
Going to McDonald’s in a Helicopter
The video of a man taking his helicopter to get a McDonald’s burger has been shared on YouTube by Mattylp on their channel. The video starts with the pilot and the owner of the helicopter piloting it over a city. The video then mentions that at one point he was very hungry, so he decides to land his helicopter beside a McDonald’s and grab a burger and a drink. Following this, the video shows him doing exactly this.
In the video, the pilot then finds a suitable open field right next to the parking lot of the McDonald’s. And soon after landing, he rushes to the McDonald’s, orders his food via the ordering kiosk. Soon his meal arrives, and he starts eating it. In the meanwhile, a person comes to him and asks him if the helicopter was his ride. To this, he replies yes, and the person praises him and leaves. Following this, the pilot then finishes his food and goes back to his helicopter and reaches his private hangar to park his helicopter.
Is it Legal?
Now, one question that everyone watching this video has is whether landing a private helicopter within a city is legal or not. So to answer this, it is subject to various regulations and considerations. The legality of it depends on factors such as local ordinances, airspace restrictions, and the specific landing location. Generally, heliports and airports are designated areas for helicopter landings, and landing elsewhere may require proper permissions from local authorities. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates airspace and landing procedures to ensure safety and prevent disruptions. Violating these regulations can result in legal consequences.
How Can People Get a Helicopter License in India?
If you are one of those people wondering how someone obtains a helicopter license in India, here is the answer. Individuals applying for a helicopter license have to follow a structured process regulated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aviation authority of India. Aspiring helicopter pilots typically begin by enrolling in a DGCA-approved flight training school to undergo theoretical and practical training.

The training program includes classroom instruction, simulator sessions, and actual flight hours. Following completion of required flight hours and meeting the specified criteria, candidates can apply for the Private Helicopter Pilot License (PHPL). The licensing process involves passing written exams, practical flying tests, and meeting medical fitness standards. After obtaining the PHPL, pilots can then advance their qualifications with additional training and experience, such as obtaining a Commercial Helicopter Pilot License (CHPL) for professional flying.
