CAA Investigation!
Hi,
I have just started my first commercial job as an aerial photography pilot. I have had a letter from the CAA for infringing rule 5 by flying below 500ft. This is an allegation but is being investigated by the CAA as they have numerous witnesses but i am waiting for the evidence. I have been asked to send my logbook and licence into the CAA. I did not infringe rule five and the transponder does not work so a read out on radar would be inaccurate also. I was sqk 7000 VFR outside controlled airspace so don't know what evidence they may have.
I am very worried about this if it goes further as i am newly qualified and don't want to lose my licence or be put in jail which i have been told can happen!!
Has anyone else had this problem from the CAA or done the same job as aerial photo pilot and had complaints of low flying when you have not?
Thanks for replies in advance.
