  • Cliffs notes:

    Plane coming in to land
    Tower requests runway change
    Helicopter flying a dedicated path near the airport
    Heli path has max altitude of 200ft
    Tower asks for visual confirmation from heli of plane (fairly late)
    Heli confirms, requests visual separation (meaning heli will handle separation of aircraft visually)
    (Note: Multiple of same plane coming in to land)
    Heli reaches 300ft alt a few seconds before plane arrival
    Plane coming in to land also approaching 300ft
    Contact

    YTer suspects heli pilots confirmed visual of the wrong plane due to multiple Bluestreak planes coming in for landing.
