The NOOSE Headquarters is a government facility in the Palomino Highlands within the eastern coast of San Andreas. If you really want to get to the roof, first make your way to the courtyard at the back of the building, and find a stairway on the right hand side to start getting up to the roof. In addition, access to the rooftop of the building is not as straightforward as those other locations, there are more ladders to climb, and these ladders are a little difficult to be found. Sometimes a Police Maverick can be seen parked on the rooftop of the building, but this is not quite often, the chance to see a chopper there is lower than that of the locations mentioned above.


The Vespucci Police Station is a three-story building in Vespucci, Los Santos, near the Vespucci Canals. A good location to do this is at somewhere west of the dock, for the west side of the dock has a ladder, through which the player can climb onto the dock. To snipe the Merryweather guards, you will need a boat, because the guards will not spawn if you try to snipe them from a great distance. One of the methods to solve this problem is first take out the guards using a sniper before the player is too close to the dock, then you will have enough time to get on the chopper before LCPD comes.

When the player is very close to the dock, a four-star wanted level will be triggered, and Merryweather guards will start to attack the player, making it hard to get on the chopper. However, the Los Santos Naval Port is a military facility, operated by Merryweather, so it can be a little difficult to obtain the chopper. There is a helipad on the dock of Los Santos Naval Port in the seaport of Los Santos, and this helipad usually has a chopper parked on it, the chance to see the chopper is higher than most other helicopter locations. But still it’s likely that both buildings have no helicopters on the roof, then you have to go to other locations listed below.Īs a helicopter on a police station, taking it will attract a one-star wanted level, but can be easily evaded by flying into the sky. However, if you see nothing on the helipad, you can take a look at the roof of the nearby Central Los Santos Medical Center, which is clearly visible from the helipad or the street below, sometimes when you don’t see a helicopter on the police station you will see one stationed on the hospital, and vice versa. Sometimes a Police Maverick or a Buzzard Attack Chopper can be seen stationed on the helipad, but the chance of this is not very high, usually lower than finding a helicopter on the roof of Central Los Santos Medical Center. To access the helipad, you can climb to the roof through the ventilation system on the back of the building. The Davis Sheriff’s Station is a two-story police station in Davis, it’s located very close to the Central Los Santos Medical Center, and also features a helipad on the roof. If you still don’t see a helicopter after several visits, consider to go to other locations mentioned below. If you don’t see a helicopter there when you get there, try to leave the area and return after a while, then helicopters will likely spawn there, but this method does not always work. Sometimes both helipads have a helicopter, sometimes only one, other times no helicopters at all, the chance to see a helicopter spawned there is higher than many other helicopter locations listed on this page. The roof can be accessed via the stairs or the ladders on the walls. The Central Los Santos Medical Center is a hospital in Davis, South Los Santos, the roof of the lower section of the hospital building has two helipads, and Air Ambulances (a type of helicopter in the game) can spawn on them. So if you don’t see a helicopter in one of the locations, try another. Unlike in GTA IV, none of these helicopters are permanently parked on the locations. Moreover, in some missions, a helicopter will be required to do the tasks, and some collectibles can only be found with the help of a helicopter.īelow is a list of the helicopter locations in GTA V and GTA Online (The type of the helicopter at each location is different between the story mode and online). Helicopters also can be used to explore the city or suburban areas and enjoy the views from high above. Helicopters are a kind of air vehicles featured in GTA V, they can be commonly seen flying around Los Santos, and piloting a helicopter can be very helpful if you need to get to a very remote place, they are much faster than land vehicles.
