Please don't be offended. I respect your engineering qualifications. However, in legal matters as in many other fields, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. ..
The particular danger on PPRuNe is that, if advice appears to be knowledgeable, readers may accept it at face value. I've seen it happen many times over the years, although not often in Rotorheads.

If you go ahead and are prosecuted, then your lawyers (preferably aviation specialists) should obtain expert opinion.
NB: From a helicopter specialist with many years of practical experience in helicopter ops - nothing less.
Anyone else could result in you losing a lot more than just the fees you wasted on your 'expert'.

No offence taken FL - I'm sure you and I would be on safe grounds in agreeing on one firm piece of advice: if this isn't theoretical and somebody is genuinely in some potential trouble, they really should go and consult properly, even if they have to pay for the advice, rather than trusting anything that they read on here.
