In this paper, we introduce an annotation-based assistance system for an unmanned helicopter with an wearable augmented reality environment. In this system, an operator controls the helicopter remotely while watching an annotated view from the helicopter through a head mounted display(HMD) with a laptop PC in a backpack. Annotations assist the operation indicating some conditions of the helicopter and a name of buildings nearby. The position and the attitude of the helicopter is measured by GPS and a gyroscope, and sent to the operator's PC via a wireless LAN.
