Your English is confusing me.

I read the article and understood it to mean that the Chinook and the AA5 were approaching head on
Thats what I assumed until I read the article

The Chinook pilot reported the incident to the board, which happened at 17:50 BST on 20 August last year.

He told investigators that he was flying at 1,800 ft (549m) when he noticed a blue and white plane, which was a Grumman AA5, flying close to him on his left-hand side.
The AA5 was flying on his left?
