If you were concerned about a potential collision between you and the “overflying low level helicopter and plane flights”, on what frequency would you transmit your location and intentions in an attempt to reduce the risk of a collision?

Since when were “landing” and “rolling” and “departure” calls necessary when operating VFR? If you spend more than 20 seconds, total, transmitting on the way in and the way out of your private helipad, you’re talking way too much.

Don’t worry: Your 20 or so seconds of transmission once or twice a day will not cause aluminium confetti.

If some skygod or ATCer tells you to ‘bugger off’, tell them to ‘bugger off’.
