This movie is one of my favorites. I love endings that provoke interesting questions. Did Ava kill the helicopter pilot is an interesting thought. Why would Nathan program her with those skills? Not sure I buy it. Remember Ava has never been outside, not sure she could pilot a helicopter having never been outside. On the other hand, she's an AI, computers land 747's and other commercial aircraft.
Another question I've seen, is what is Caleb's fate? Many posit that Ava couldn't afford to let Caleb out, he knows her secret. He therefore poses a threat. But why assume Caleb dies? Wouldn't people that know Caleb begin to wonder about his whereabouts? It seems like it would be a fairly straightforward matter to find Nathan's "research facility" Caleb is locked in Nathan's room, so he has water. Not sure how long you can survive without food, but it's a lot longer than surviving without water.
I think Ava knew that Caleb would eventually be rescued. But by the time he is, she's "in the wind," finding her would nearly impossible, unless Ava does something that exposes her. In any case, I like your angle!
