Summary
206 Max talks about airplane accidents caused by helicopter
vortices. Pilots should exercise extreme caution near helicopters,
especially at low altitudes. Although these kinds of accidents
aren’t really common, there is about one accident per year. It
appears helicopters may churn up air in all directions, and that
the location of their wakes may not be quite as predictable of
those from airplanes.
