Sorry, but that's not one I know.

The answer is as simple as obvious ... there is no way to tell how much fuel the AI helo has left. You can only guesstimate and keep an eye on the clock ... I'm not entirely sure but I think a full helo (in game) can stay aloft for something between 2 and 3 hours considering that it takes ages to RTB and land Id say that you should call him back around the 2hrs mark.

In that regard, has anyone actually run a helo out of fuel while sitting watch on the ASTAC? This is a good question.
