You can actually see that he is in a left hand turn at the start of the video and does look down and left of track roughly towards where the old hangar pad is just before the rear passenger points to the incoming helo and then looks back straight ahead and straightens ups then seems to make a radio call.
I wonder if he did sight the departing aircraft, assumes he's been sighted and that they will give way to the approaching aircraft and continue his approach making a call to confirm?
