Question

Why are helicopters used to access inaccessible areas? Write any two

disadvantages of airways. Class 7 ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The common disadvantages are an increased cost which depends on many factors such as staffing, type of aircraft, and distance of transport. The cost of operating air medical transport is also very high because the aircraft itself can cost several million dollars, and the maintenance is very strictly regulated.

But there are disadvantages, too. Helicopters hold very few passengers and little luggage. Plus, helicopters are highly dependent on weather. High winds and rain can ground a helicopter, which means you'll have to wait until the weather clears before you can fly.
