SAR missions make you land in unsuitable locations

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Helicopter SAR missions sometimes end up with the user finding themselves have to land their helicopter within a dense forest, and with no other option but to land near the target in order to complete the mission, it always results in the aircraft coming into contact with the trees and causing a crash.

This makes many of the helicopter SAR missions, particularily the ones in the European regions, very difficult or outright impossible to pass.

ICAO, coordinates, or specific location:
Mountain rescue near Masonville SAR mission
