Except that he is above 150' to 200', not descending and not on final approach. He is not a landing aircraft. he's not even pointing at the pad. Would you call an aircraft on base leg a landing aircraft?

It doesn't matter because he had right of way anyway - not sure why you have a problem about this.

Define landing in regulatory terms......
