Close encounter with Helicopter flying above me


Recommended Posts

 

While enjoying an evening Paramotor flight, I got in a close encounter with Helicopter and eventually it's flying above me! As I'm turning away, the Helicopter keeps turn right into me. Fortunately, nothing had happen but the could also be a different story.

Is there anything you think I could have done better?

Ouch, at least he was low! That incident was about 60 seconds after the heli flew by and the pilot flew just below the height of the heli. The downdraft will likely have dissipated (it doesn't last long) but the rotor vortex (due to the heli's forward speed) will still be rolling out....just the same as it would if an aircraft flew by.
