The trauma helicopter was on its return from the city of Arnhem to Rotterdam The Hague Airport under visual flight rules. In the Rotterdam control zone the helicopter and another aeroplane came within close vicinity of each other. The helicopter made an evasive manoeuvre. Afterwards both aircraft continued their flights uneventfully.
Both ANWB Medical Air Assistance (MAA) and Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL) conducted their own investigation into the occurrence and shared the results with the Dutch Safety Board. Both organisations have taken internal measures to reduce the risk of airproxes.
