“Readback” is currently used only for specific parts of a transmission from ATC - Basically essential elements of a clearance. EG “Climb to 2 thousand”. (Which would require a read back.)
I’d imagine the operation in question were at best, advising of their movements. EG “Chopper 1 lifting for a scenic to the south” (Which, I would have thought would have had the inbound pilot looking out “very hard” - lots of head movement to clear the blind spot for eg - not evident in the video. So perhaps there was an issue with this.
Potentially the lifting call was “stepped on”.)
