I'm a fan of pretty steep approaches in GA aircraft, but just "landing long" isn't going you get you around wake turbulence...that's 2D thinking.
Yeah obviously a GA was the right answer. I definitely would have done that for a bigger helo but that was just a slick. That was before I saw this video. Learned something new.
