Notes from before the conversion: Helos will land at the nearest "H" or "Invisible H", if there is one around (within 500m in Armed Assault).

To make a helicopter LAND correctly and not hovering over the landing position use unitReady to check if the helicopter already has reached his destination. You can fix a landing bug by using a short delay bevore checking the unitReady command.

_helicopter move getPosATL _destination; sleep 3; while { alive _helicopter) && !unitReady _helicopter } do { sleep 1; }; if (alive _helicopter) then { _helicopter land "LAND"; };
