An ambulance helicopter, Eurocopter EC135P2+, and a civil helicopter, Robinson R44II, were involved in an airprox incident over Akashi city. While flying west bound at the altitude of 1000 feet, the captain, sole onboard, of the civil helicopter noticed that the prefectural ambulance helicopter crossed from 30 to 60 meters horizontally and 100 to 200 feet below, reported on 15th November. The doctor helicopter carried 4 persons on the way to pick up a patient.
