A
pilot's visibility
B
loading of cargo
C
rotor blades and landing gear
D
unloading of passengers
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) rotor blades and landing gear. An obstruction on a helodeck (helipad) refers to any object that could potentially interfere with the safe operation of a helicopter, particularly the rotation of the rotor blades and the landing/takeoff of the aircraft. Obstructions near the helodeck pose a risk of collision or damage to the helicopter's critical components, which is a significant safety concern. The other answer choices, such as pilot visibility, cargo loading, or passenger unloading, while important considerations, are not the primary focus when it comes to defining an obstruction on a helodeck.
