Of course we know that is not true in all cases, the same as it is not always 100% true in any type of operations you care to name: long line, HEMS, utility, etc.
Do you have a vested interest in such an operation?
No. I write only as a pilot involved in such operations. Which, as you might imagine, does not involve much from a pecuniary standpoint.
Regarding “Officials” and “ban” possibly relating to government regulations.... The official in charge of your play park could ban you!
Most certainly, and I already offered a couple of examples where this was in fact the case, if not for the op's I've been associated with, then for others.
I made no reference to a Government body.
Not specifically. I only point out that both the text of your post and the headline of the article might suggest that to people who don't give the article a careful read.
