From: Do I come here often?
Rotor vortices are known to have caused at least two fatal crashes to FW in the UK.

I fly medium sized rotary for part of my day job and I treat the situation of mixing with light FW very carefully.

I used to fly the Sikorsky S61 round the North Sea and was once told by a Viscount captain that hitting our wake on finals to Sumburgh was like being stamped on.
