It is not possible to say exactly where Leonardo was when making this or any other sketch. The thing is: All his inventions were made in his sketchbooks, not in any sort of mechanical workshop.

∙ 14y agoleornardo da vinci got his idea from a hawk that came down and landed on his crib when he was little.
*While it is true that the youngest memory known about Leonardo was when a hawk landed on his crib and touched Leonardo's lips with his tail, it is a little bit of a jump to conclude that that is where the inspiration for the helicopter came from. Since, a hawk and a helicopter do not look alike at all.
Leonardo was fascinated with birds and really wanted to figure out how to fly. He designed a couple of flying machines, including a hand glider and a rough helicopter sketch.
As he was working on ideas to figure out how to flight, he came up with the completely original idea for a flying machine (nowadays we identify that flying machine as a helicopter) out of his own mind. In other words, he got the idea for his helicopter from his own head no outside inspiration because there wasn't anyone doing anything like it around him where he could draw any inspiration from.*

Why is Leonardo Da Vinci so important that he is in aviation history?
Leonardo was trying to build a flying machine. He wanted to be able to fly. Please, note that Leonardo is not credited for having invented the helicopter. He designed a pair of blades (as one of his many flying machine designs) that were similar to the helicopter blades that are used nowadays. That is the connection - Helicopters today use the same blades that Leonardo envisioned in the Renaissance. As genius as he was, he did not invent the helicopter he drew a picture and said it could fly. If this were the case a four year old child living in the 1800s could have attached wheels to a match box and be credited with the invention of the car
