Narrative:
Before I crossed the runways at hnl airport, local controller told me to head to the terminal (west side). As I approached the terminal (descend to 500 ft), was instructed by controller to 'cross all the runways' and 'do you have traffic on the 4's?' I had visual with a landing airplane on runway 4L, and told the controller 'I have contact, and will maintain visual.' as I crossed the runways and turned right to downwind, I heard the controller clear someone 'for takeoff, direct shoreline approved.' as I looked to the right, I saw a C182 retractable gear plane taking off and climbing towards me. I turned the helicopter immediately and dived it to the right, towards taxiway C and to avoid the plane. The rest of the landing was normal. I believe the controller should have waited until I was down and clear before allowing the plane to takeoff. It created a traffic conflict that could have been avoided.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: H500 PLT TAKES EVASIVE ACTION FROM DEPARTING C182 FROM HNL RWY 4R HAVING RPTED WRONG ACFT ISSUED TFC IN SIGHT.
Narrative: BEFORE I CROSSED THE RWYS AT HNL ARPT, LCL CTLR TOLD ME TO HEAD TO THE TERMINAL (W SIDE). AS I APCHED THE TERMINAL (DSND TO 500 FT), WAS INSTRUCTED BY CTLR TO 'CROSS ALL THE RWYS' AND 'DO YOU HAVE TFC ON THE 4'S?' I HAD VISUAL WITH A LNDG AIRPLANE ON RWY 4L, AND TOLD THE CTLR 'I HAVE CONTACT, AND WILL MAINTAIN VISUAL.' AS I CROSSED THE RWYS AND TURNED R TO DOWNWIND, I HEARD THE CTLR CLR SOMEONE 'FOR TKOF, DIRECT SHORELINE APPROVED.' AS I LOOKED TO THE R, I SAW A C182 RETRACTABLE GEAR PLANE TAKING OFF AND CLBING TOWARDS ME. I TURNED THE HELI IMMEDIATELY AND DIVED IT TO THE R, TOWARDS TXWY C AND TO AVOID THE PLANE. THE REST OF THE LNDG WAS NORMAL. I BELIEVE THE CTLR SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL I WAS DOWN AND CLR BEFORE ALLOWING THE PLANE TO TKOF. IT CREATED A TFC CONFLICT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
