Silsoe . Explain to me the dangers of diving , lets say a 30 min dive to 50ft and then later in the day flying a helicopter at 500ft . I suspect that everything you spout is read from a book .
T.C. You assume too much . You may well have some experience and a lot of hours but i also fly , and have flown, with people (who are friends) who have every bit of your experience . If you wish to preach safety you should do it in such a way that people want to listen to you . The points i made were valid (according to my friends) and just because you disagree does not give you the right to be condescending .
How do you KNOW he willingly is taking off over people ?
Was there a fenced off piece ?
Is he in a position to give his job up rather than operate from that site ??
Would a life jacket help if you were inside a helicopter in 2ft of water ?
I did say i thought the overall flight was not how i would do it and was not professional ...i just was not going to get on the band wagon of picking on every misdemenour from his socks or lack of them !!!
Just remember you are NOT my commanding officer and i would ask you not to PM me again to give me a lecture as i have exactly the same right to post on here as you do !!
You may believe you know me and think i am a dangerous pilot but i would point out the following
1) I have been flying for over 30 yrs with 1 accident (due component failure) and have never been in trouble with the FAA or CAA.
2) There are a few , incl Mil instructors , on this site who have flown with me who would argue the case .
Sometimes, admittedly, i do like to wind up pumped up stuffed shirts with gold on their shoulders just for fun .
