There are different types of helicopters in GTA 5. Smaller ones like the Maverick are fast and nimble. On the other hand, bigger ones like the Cargobob are mainly useful for imports and exports.

GTA 5 players can find helicopters in several locations. They are generally found on helipads with rooftop access. Notably, these vehicles aren't out in the open. Rather, players will have to search for them manually.

Here are a few helicopter spawns from GTA 5, along with their respective vehicles:

• Central Los Santos Medical Center (Maverick, Buzzard and Cargobob)
• Davis Sheriff's Station (Police Maverick and Buzzard)
• Elysian Island (Cargobob)
• Los Santos International Airport (Frogger)
• NOOSE Headquarters (Maverick, Buzzard, and Annihilator)
• Sandy Shores Airfield (Frogger and Cargobob)
• Vespucci Helipad (Swift)

GTA 5 helicopters tend to spawn near hospitals and law enforcement. Having said that, players should be careful when dealing with the latter. They might receive a wanted rating if they are caught tresspassing.
