Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Procedure; Human Factors
After completing a practice RNAV34 approach into EMV; my student and I started our departure on Runway 34 and shortly after takeoff; what looked like a helicopter passed over us flying across the runway no more than 300 ft AGL on an opposite heading. My student and I had reported on final and never heard anyone else in the area of EMV and was surprised by this occurrence. The runway lights did not come on after trying to turn them on which no NOTAMS were issued for this to be inoperative. We flew level until the aircraft passed and waited for the wake turbulence before continuing the climb.
GA flight instructor reported an NMAC at EMV non-towered airport during takeoff requiring evasive action.
