It came to my attention that a helicopter owner was offering sight seeing trips and there was a fare charged. The aircraft was a vintage piston single and flights were operated out of and over an urban area. This was shortly after the Glasgow helicopter crash. I contacted the CAA via their website and received a call a few days later asking for more details. I never heard anything officially, but the flights stopped. So perhaps if we report issues, there will be action. I think in the light of this accident, the CAA should be taking proactive action looking into some of these flights. It wouldn’t be hard to ask some questions of Air Traffic at certain airfields to get an idea of who to look at more closely.
