Now that's really bad news... about a month ago, I complained to the Swiss
FOCA (the local FAA) because a helicopter landed in our neighbour's
backyard, and I was sure that he hadn't a permit.
What kind of permit do you need? In the US you might risk the land owner
complaining about tresspass, but I don't believe individual towns, counties,
cities, states, etc regulate landing. When I was ballooning, we would
always ask the land owner if it would be OK to land in their yard if they
had run out to see what was going on. Nobody every denied access.
