Why do choppers fly so low?
Recently I was on a chopper out of Grand Canyon to Bar 10 Ranch, AZ. Both choppers (Bell 206) that took our group out flew very low, maybe 30-40 feet AGL. Very exciting. Why do they fly so low?
NB: not a complaint; as a crappy fixed-wing pilot, I know zip about choppers.
Thanks.
