> The problem I see is the controller asked the Helicopter if they had the CRJ in sight, but he never said WHERE HE WAS OR WHAT HE WAS DOING! The controller should have told the Helicopter that the CRJ was circling to RWY 33. The helicopter said he had him in sight, but he really had the Jet in sight that was landing on RWY 1.

> Tower: "PAT25 traffic just south of (unclear) bridge is a CRJ at 1,200ft turning for Runway 33"
> PAT25: PAT25 has the Traffic in sight, request visual separation
> Tower: Visual separation approved.
Then a minute later he asks again if PAT25 has the CRJ in sight, which I think is what you're referring to.
