(b) takes off from a place in a populous area that is both of the following (the relevant HLS):
 (i) a non-certified aerodrome (including an HLS);
           (ii) an aerodrome that is not used for the regular take-off or landing of aircraft.
       (2) The pilot in command of the rotorcraft may land at the relevant HLS only if:
