When we exceeded his altitude he called it in as a near miss, then filed a near miss report with the FAA the following day. <span class="info"></span>
How close was you? A near miss at 500 feet isn't the same as a near miss in controlled airspace. When seperated by conrollers its 5 miles or maybe less. VFR I think its 2,000 feet. Not sure about helicopters flying in their corridors, but see them at less than 2,000 feet all the time.
