Original Note:
The coriolis effect only applies to objects in relative motion. specifically, motion that changes the distance from the rotational axis (of the earth in this case). A hovering helicopter cannot feel this force. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/171211/rotation-of-earth-and-helicopter#:~:text=The%20coriolis%20effect%20only%20applies,helicopter%20cannot%20feel%20this%20force.
