[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does it mean that the help requested visual separation. What other options were available?[/quote]

Many experts have stated “visual separation” means the helo is assuming full responsibility for staying away from the plane. Helo pilot does this twice.

Please watch the info videos. This has been explained countless times. [/quote]

So ATC could have denied the request, knowing how closely the paths were crossing. Did they grant the request because they were understaffed and allowed a too risky situation?[/quote]

Why did the ATC grant visual separation if the BH was flying 100 ft over maximum altitude? Doesn’t the radar show how high they are flying? [/quote]

In the last few seconds before impact, the helicopter increased altitude suddenly, causing the collision. This can be seen on all the radar and traffic. At the time ATC asked for visual separation, the chopper was at 200 feet. And then it went higher, and that’s really the biggest mystery here. [/quote]
