Flying Lawyer has quite rightly earnt our respect for his considered opinions over the years in this forum and others.
Epiphany's frustration with the behaviour of this low time pilot is shared by many of us. How many hours qualifies you to fly steep turns at low level over water with paying passengers on board ?
They're both right, but the sentiment of this thread should be "beware dangerous overconfidence" rather than "beware the camera".
There is more to this story than is set out in the first post of this thread, and just because CASA couldn't find the expert they wanted, it doesn't mean that the flying didn't happen. As painful as the $50,000 was, it might well have saved more than one life down the track.
