No worries champ, let's see how that argument works out for you. I do hope that business is a one-man shop, imagine how angry your business partner(s) will be when they realise what you have done lol.
Have a lovely day flabango
...and for the record:
1. You posted a video, prouudly, showing you (probably) breaking several FAA rules.
2. I complimented you on the vid, and simply asked if you were under 400'
3. You launched into a tyrade at me (sound familiar to anyone?), outraged that i would dare ask you a question. In your abusive rant, you made it clear you do not understand the 400' rule, amongst other things.
4. Your reaction piqued my interest and suspicions. So I did some investigating, because I was bored and I care about air safety and would like to see cowboys such as yourself removed from airspace, for everyone's benefit.
5. I discovered that you had definitely hit the 400' mark in altitude. I also noticed the footage was in a densely populated city, which meant there were likely to be helipads nearby (in my city, I cannot fly without prior approval from the Authorities, precisely due to heli activity. The same is the case in most large Western cities.)
6. I asked you, reasonably, if you were certain of the "about 385' " altitude you claimed, as well as about the helis.
7. Your response was again abusive, claiming there was "nothing" in the area. No helis, no helipads, no people.
8. Now the people one was clearly a lie from the outset. But of much greater concern was that when I checked, I discovered not only that there were about 5-6 heli pads within a mile of you, but that one of them was your State Capitol Building helipad... oh my.
9. A little more checking and voila! It turns out you were 3.5 miles from the International Airport... uh oh!
10. I gave you multiple chances to calm down and be an adult about it. But, true to form, you could not help but continue to be abusive and reckless in your attitude to both the rules and the FAA.
11. You
directly invited me to report you. I had no choice really, I could not live with myself if I had left it be at this point, an later found out you had caused an incident. So I did the right thing. My conscience is clear. No doubt you will say yours is too. Thats' lovely for you
Face it buddy, you have a hot temper, and a lack of respect for the rules, and it clearly gets you into more trouble than its' worth. I'm sorry I had to report you, but simply put, you are not right for this industry. Stick to helmet cams and websites buddy
