The real help in the Hudson corridor might be for the Feds to raise the ceiling for the VFR traffic? Like the regulators did over Wycombe? And then let the recommendations for keeping to the right up river, left downstream, , helis below l,500 and fixed wing between l,800 and 3,000, why not?
The corridor ceiling is there for a good reason - JFK, LGA and EWR ! Conceivably it could be raised slightly, but that won't happen. Keep helos below 500 until out of the corridor.
I understand this to be, that as soon as the plane had cleared the other helicopter, it should be told to continue climb to requested altitude.
Not in the corridor. See above.
