It is important to note that crashing a helicopter is a very expensive business
Who writes this stuff......?
I don't want to start anything here, but the reports aren't clear about the airspace rules at the location. Was this a case of a drone intruding into helicopter airspace or a helicopter flying in drone airspace (ie flying somewhere where he could not be certain that there were no other uncontrolled airspace users, and where it would be difficult to observe Vessel, Vehicle, Structure & Person rules?

I thought an R22 was a drone. Do real humans actually fly inside them🤔
