FL,
That said, low flying and infringing airspace both vary considerably from minor to very serious depending upon the particular facts of the case.
True. I guess my background and experiences just make me more inclined towards seeing the practical act as more of an issue than the administrative one*.
If he'd have flown sensibly nobody would have been any the wiser, not that that makes it okay of course.
* though as someone requiring a valid and current licence inc medical to exercise my competence I am aware of the implications of letting any part of it lapse!
