This in contrast to basic flight training is ops. You have to think outside the basic training frame.

If this was an emergency landing, the helicopter will need parts or other assistance which means its a smart move to leave room for the second helicopter.

Where is the emergency ?

[jonathane1976]

The title states emergency landing helicopter, not helicopter emergency landing.

The helicopter is landing on a hatch lid on the deck of a dry cargo ship, probably a bulk carrier, I would suggest the emergency is onboard the ship, rather than with the aircraft.

It is most likely a medivac of a crew member.

emergency? The pilot made a perfect approach and landing...

@foxtrot789 @itsNards This was a full power landing, not an autorotation. Looks to be an EC135 which is a twin engine ship. Could have lost an engine, was low on fuel (Unlikely but possible), or one of many alarms could have went off whether it be false or something internal.

Just opposite of the landed helicopter. We do that all the time, especially on hospital helipads as you never know when another helicopter will come in.

@phoinix2 how could another heli land in that space

@foxtrot789 I'm 16 and I'm studying the helicopter from it's bare bones, I'm hoping to fly one in the army, no offense taken

[foxtrot789]

@itsNards No offense but i'm surprised you're even familiar with the term 'auto-rotate' if you had to ask whether that was one or not.

[itsNards]

was it in auto-rotate?

@407pilot helicopter pilots make a hard job look easy and make life easier for everyone around them by not getting in the way (which coincidentally the FARs tell you is your own responsibility, to inform ATC if you can do non-standard things to facilitate fixed traffic)
