Helicopter ID

[Carey]

Bystander, not on the way out from Hilo & in to Hilo...they are all flying the same routes, unless GH banks up to upper Puna.... AND that is my concern they are flying low within the flight paths of other planes, & within a residential area with multiple schools.

GH is NO excuse for any of the low flying enroute to a destination... I am not positive if Keaau town is a "congested area" but it IS residential zoned... I would think that counts for at least the pilots TRYING to follow the FAA safe altitude guidelines...AND I would THINK that the helicopter pilos here would follow the FAA safe flying altitude over an area with multiple schools (as this is specified in the "densly populated definition).... these guys routinely fly below 1000' right over the 4 schools here & the houses here (I know that Oahu would not stand for it).... and yesterday & today the pilots were sometimes even below 500'... over my house & over the schools!
