The video link didn't say anything about an illegal altitude. The a/c had
lights but not sure if any were missing. It looked low. The Cherokee could
have performed an evasive manuever to miss the chopper for that matter.

Actually it looked like responsible reporting that was unavoidable since
they had video. Not sure much happened here except 2 low VFR aircraft
surprised each other.


I went back to watch the video again because I was absolutely certain
that they accused the pilot of flying at an illegal altitude. Well,
they didn't, this time but I noticed that the time on the video was
6:33 this morning and the time on the clip that I saw was 5:02 A.M. I
don't know if there is any significance to the fact that the altitude
was not mentioned in the updated report. I noticed this time around
that the beacon and strobes were on but not the nav lights.
