Narrative:
Nxx tower did not advise me of an small transport off 33 climbing to 1500' and turning sebnd. I was wbound at 1500'. When I saw this camouflaged small transport, previously hidden by my aircraft door structure, it seemed advisable to descend right then, which I advised nxx tower. By sep standards amongst helicopter's in nyc, this was a non event--but after an apology (unsolicited) from nxx tower, I got the impression the tower or the small transport (xx helicopter communicating on UHF spectrum, which I couldn't hear) pilot was not happy with the situation. I figured it wise to submit this report.

Narrative: NXX TWR DID NOT ADVISE ME OF AN SMT OFF 33 CLBING TO 1500' AND TURNING SEBND. I WAS WBOUND AT 1500'. WHEN I SAW THIS CAMOUFLAGED SMT, PREVIOUSLY HIDDEN BY MY ACFT DOOR STRUCTURE, IT SEEMED ADVISABLE TO DSND RIGHT THEN, WHICH I ADVISED NXX TWR. BY SEP STANDARDS AMONGST HELI'S IN NYC, THIS WAS A NON EVENT--BUT AFTER AN APOLOGY (UNSOLICITED) FROM NXX TWR, I GOT THE IMPRESSION THE TWR OR THE SMT (XX HELI COMMUNICATING ON UHF SPECTRUM, WHICH I COULDN'T HEAR) PLT WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE SITUATION.
