Narrative:

An airplane pilot complained about my takeoff which he thinks I did overfly his aircraft during takeoff taxiway 18 in small aircraft helicopter. I believe that my takeoff is safe enough and I did not do anything wrong. However, to inform what exactly happened, I submit this form. I and CFI helicopter were ready for takeoff and saw the airplane was on the south of taxiway, so I made a radio call to depart sbound and made a takeoff to clear the right side of airplane well enough and also I made sure we had enough altitude too, when we passed by him with banking right and climbed. The horizontal distance from the airplane was at least 70-100 ft and we flew to the west of the south pads. As far as I am concerned my takeoff was safe enough and I did not threaten the airplane either. After takeoff, the airplane pilot called us and said like 'if you do it again, I will break your bone.' so that my instructor answered for it and apologized to him, because he was mad.
