GDI Mission 6 transport helicopter pathing error

Product: Command & Conquer Remastered
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug The transport helicopter that appears after destroying the first two SAM sites will sometimes not land where it's supposed to near the Commando at the bottom of the map, but instead fly over the NOD base without landing and get destroyed.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play mission 6 for GDI and destroy the first two SAM sites near the start of the mission. It's intermittent so may not occur often.
What happens when the bug occurs? The transport helicopter flies off from where it enters to map up to the top right of the map, which results in it flying over the NOD base. It won't respond to movement commands to fly back down either.
What do you expect to see? The transport helicopter is supposed to land on the starting island near the Commando.

I couldn't get this bug to replicate on a regular basis so it seems to be intermittent, but when it does happen it makes the mission impossible to complete

    I'm glad you described this issue. I just spent five minutes on that map wondering what the heck I was supposed to do next.

    I've done some additional testing and have determined that the helicopter "gives up" trying to land if your commando's location on the ground is preventing it. The first time I played through the mission it did this almost immediately, flying off into its own destruction. The second time I was able to recreate this error I was moving the commando explicitly to prevent the helicopter landing. It tried to adjust its landing position three or four times before once again flying off to die. 

    Just restarting the mission seems to be the best workaround right now. You only have to take out two SAMs to get back to this point.

    I think this may happen if you moved the Commando exactly on the spot where the helicopter is trying to land. That's known to mess up the AI of helicopters and causes them to just fly off into the distance.
