Human Factors; Procedure
After Departing AGC; we encountered what appeared to be a small drone approximately 6 NM NW of AGC; directly across Heinz Field on the south side of the Ohio River. We were at 2000 ft MSL when we spotted the small 'object' approximately 200 ft off our port side. The object was silver and was reflective. It appeared to be heading on a SE course before it executed a slight left bank to the east. We only saw the object for approximately 10 sec before it disappeared behind our aircraft. I immediately notified Approach and relayed the same info. After an uneventful flight; I called Approach and basically repeated the same info that I had passed over the radio. They told me that law enforcement in that area had been notified.
A helicopter pilot near AGC reported a small UAS 200 feet away from his aircraft while cruising at 2000 feet MSL.
