You could make the chopper get over the building like this :
YourChopper move [X,Y,Z]
or
YourChopper move getpos "Name Of A game Logic On The Building"

Then you could have the chopper fly low.
YourChopper flyinheight 10-20
Adjust the hight to your suits.

You may need to make the chopper careless and combatmode blue.
YourChopper setcombatmode "Blue"
YourChopper setbehaviour "careless"

Does this help ?  ::)

make your chopper move near the building as Erik said then setpos it on the roof and if you want to stop completely remove the fuel from it. At least i do it this way ;D

Question: Does the helicopter detect the heighth of the roof when landing or do you have to specify that in the gamelogic's "z" position. ???

If I remember correctly (and thats a BIG if), the absolute height was the top of any surface, be it ground, roof, ship, in early versions of OFP and in later versions (1.46+?) it is ground level. As I am trapped at work, I can not test this myself at this time.
