Narrative:
Having been notified of this occurrence at MM-dd-92 at XA30 local, I feel that the FAA should be more expeditious in their handling of complaints. I was informed that an light transport operator felt I landed too close to his aircraft at the jfk gate heliport. This area is the only authorized landing area and, in the interest of safety, an alternate landing area should be designated by the jfk port authority.
