Rescue mission. The one squad has to rescue the pilot. Once there a helicopter is activated with a text trigger and then the pilot goes to the chopper when it lands.

It's all triggers:  you need to read a good general tutorial on triggers and also the one specifically on switch triggers.

In the Tutorial Mission (tutes - Getting started) there is a radio call for chopper CAS:  in that case it's trashing a tank rather than picking somebody up, but the principle is the same.

Getting choppers to do exactly what you want is tricky - they are just the awkward bastards of OFP.  Fortunately there are specific tutes on this too.

As an alternative, use snYpir's SP/MP support pack.    Can't remember if it does chopper extractions, it probably does.   In the Ed Depot under mods, on the left hand menu column.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play
