• Your employer — such as a news service, photography or video company, or television or radio station
• The helicopter operator or “air taxi” service if such a third party was involved
• The manufacturer of the aircraft or a defective part or system that malfunctioned in flight, at takeoff, or during an attempted landing
• An aircraft maintenance provider negligent in repair or service of the chopper
