The aircraft created the hazard by not avoiding the building.
wrong.
the hazard was the crane, that's why the aircraft hit it. the accident was caused by the aircraft impacting the hazard.
as you, yourself state:
"Mistakes" have consequences!
a 770ft crane was placed not just within 200ft of a heli route (H4) and a compulsory reporting point. That does not leave much margin for error, if any.
I believe that had the pilot survived, he may have been charged with Manslaughter for the death of Matthew Wood.
really? the legal expert are you know as well as judge, jury and executioner?

i dont think FL is out of line at all. the operation was a commercial operation and part of requirements into gaining a professional licence demands, by regulation study and understanding of the applicable regualtions pertaining to. the PPL does not.
