Comentarios de pilotos
WARNING: Franz Joseph is THE BUSIEST Heliport in the southern hemisphere. DO NOT FLY unless you follow the rules below. Fly above the glacier if there is no wind but beware of the catabatic wind (down the glacier). Best is to climb in the afternoon, try to fly in the evening after the helicopters have finished or camp overnight up there and take off in the morning. You must have an airband radio on the helicopter frequency.
