One of our low hour students got too close to a helicopter on finals a few months ago. The turbulence from the helicopter flipped the aircraft, about 30 degrees I'm told. Not the sort of thing you'd want if a student, or even an experienced plank winger. It seems that the student was allowed to get a bit too close to the heli, with the above result.
