I've been a controller for over 30 years and after applying the rules never had a problem either. So therefore the rules work well and keep everyone safe.

ShyTorque But these 2 aircraft are in the same wake turbulence category and so require no wake turbulence spacing between them. I don't think that this is done for smaller helicopters (but accept that it's mission dependant rather than size).
