Sponsoring Department's Responsible:
1. Submitting the completed "Helicopter Landing Request Form" electronically.

once the aircraft has departed. The aircraft's weight can have a significant
impact on the landing site. A land restoration plan including coordination
and follow-up are required.
A ground security plan is required. Assistance from Department of Public Safety/Oregon State Police may require additional lead-time.
