Helibabe 1,
This is nothing more than a ‘speeding ticket and a ticking off’ by a copper in the air.. and if you saw the size of the infringement in inches you’d be shocked! But that doesn’t sell papers…!
If the infringement was that small and perhaps insignificant to you then surely it shouldn’t have been a big deal and big cost (£20) to go around it?
I have spent a fair bit of time in the air myself and experienced good, bad and maybe the ugly controllers but if I had spoken to a controller like that I would have to have a word with myself.
Helicopters don’t have a great name in this industry as it is and we don’t need bad press such as this.
