True, I was reading up on that accident between news helicopters and it surprised me they regularly kept separation of only 100ft.

Oh it was 200 actually: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/chasing-a-story-the-2007...

Still, very little for a fixed wing GA pilot. I know airliners use pretty low separation pretty much as a rule but they have really accurate autopilots.
