Squadgy,
Helicopter procedures are different at every airfield I've flown from (and to). Some have specific procedures for rotary traffic; quite a few want you to do the same as the f/w traffic. For various reasons, I'm sure we won't get things changed at this particular airfield; we'll have to live with it. At the other airfield where I instruct occasionally, which is small and A/G radio, we can be away in seconds, and half an hour is loads of time. It's this particular scenario that I'm wondering about, and is there a better way of handling it. Unfortunately changing things completely is not an option.
