How stupid is he??? Have to agree the footage is very damning!!

Like all things in life it is the minority that give the rest of us a bad name. Idiots that are represented in this thread, so far, should be found, prosecuted and expunged from the industry!

In VMC a ground prox warning needs to be reported?
Can't seem to find where there is any reference to whether the aircraft is in VMC or not. However this is the general principle used across various regulatory and safety authorities:

Reporting of TAWS/GPWS ‘PULL UP’ Warnings
All flight crew who receive a ‘PULL UP’ warning should raise an Air Safety Report (ASR) detailing all known circumstances. ATCOs who become aware of such occurrences should do likewise and their organisation should then advise the Operator. Aircraft Operators with a flight data monitoring programme should have an automatic alerting system for any recording which contains such an occurrence, and this should support an investigation already initiated by receipt of an ASR or prompt the commencement of a new investigation.
Also bare in mind that this individual has been known to turn the same aircraft (in post #7) inside of the Berkeley/King George river gorges, sometimes directly in front of the King George falls. See link:
