Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant violated a duty of care by failing to coordinate approach procedure and separation between helicopters
Solution extraite
Yes. As pilot and guarantor of passenger safety, he had to agree on approach points and maintain sufficient separation; his omissions and premature takeoff breached the duty of care.
Motifs extraits
A pilot operating VFR multi-helicopter passenger flights must take all prudent measures to avoid collision. The appellant did not coordinate the landing procedure or announcement points and did not ensure adequate temporal separation.
