The Dangers of Helicopter Vortices
Topic:
Helicopter Vortices Generation Create Multiple Threats to the GA Pilot - Most Are Unaware of and Untrained to Encounter
Brief Description:
Vortices that are created by helicopter rotors when helicopters are being operated close to, or on the ground, are very dangerous for light aircraft operating nearby. We will discuss recent accidents, how to avoid vortices, and how to share information with local helicopter operators who may not be aware of the danger.
