Can't get helicopter to land?

I'm redoing the mission "Phantom Limbs" and im at the part where you have to get past the Skulls. I can successfully get past the skulls undetected, but when I do so, the helicopter won't land, it'll hover, but it just stays there and won't land no matter what. Changing landing zones doesn't do anything, and the problem still persists. Anyone know what to do?

Skip the skulls entirely. Blow up the big mobile radar dish on the south side of the base. When Ocelot calls in the chopper, before it lands, change the landing point to the new one right outside the base.

Once you complete it the first time, there are actually many places you can call the chopper into and skip the skulls all together. This is one of many runs, but you can do it any which way you choose to.

Pretty sure you can use that landing point on your first play. Don't you start with grenades by default when you start a new game?

It was my understanding that you couldn't use any other landing point until after your first play through. You have to go through the skulls once. At least that was my understanding. I have no way of rewinding 6 months and trying it again without setting up a family share myself.

There are ways to stealth your way into Miller though. I just haven't tried a no traces for him yet.

wrong, on your first play you can not choose it. even no "helicopter" in menu.

I could have sworn I exited the combat zone by land with a jeep. I know you can after the first time.

R puts Miller in the chopper. You do have to put him in the chopper. E, most of the time, puts Miller in the chopper then you get in the chopper. Although I would love to see Video of this. It's always easier to tell what is going on with Video.
