Hide AdA spokesman said: "Leeds has one of the only raised helidecks in the country in a city environment.
"The military uses the helideck to train and the pilot will land for 45 seconds before taking off again.
"It's one thing landing in a desert in Iraq, it's another flying over a busy city.
"We do this on a regular basis because we have the only raised helideck outside London at Leeds General Infirmiary."
