Hoverbover - you're quite right I haven't done any rotary flying (as pilot anyway), so I take your point about crosswinds. Some of the students seemed very wobbly, and certainly didn't hover taxi in straight lines. It wasn't that windy, so I assumed helos were perhaps more prone to being blown about than fixed wing. The R22 isn't exactly a heavyweight machine.
Spoonbill - yes it is licenced, it has to be to provide training. They are very tight for space, and I understand students have to used a licenced aerodrome for hover-taxying and autorotations.
Kermit 180 - not sure how many rotor-lengths away they are, but space on the northside of the runway is very limited. I got the most horrendous float & bounce on landing, and was on the point of going-around. I don't claim to be any great shakes as a pilot, but I haven't had that on previous landings (including an hour before at the same field in very similar weather) or subsequent ones. We all make mistakes, and being distracted by a hovering helo at the threshold taking off as I was about to flare doesn't help of course.
Deeko01 - I thought I was over-reacting as well, but other pilots I have spoken to since have similar concerns.
It's probably different for pilots based there, who have an idea of what the helo's are up to, but as a visitor I was in the dark. I had phoned for a weather & approach briefing before leaving, so that would be the time to warn people about helo ops I think. Ultimately of course it is my decision as P1 to land or go-around.
