The court yesterday heard, at the time of the crash, Hector held a pilot's certificate - and not a pilot's licence - which only permitted him to fly less than 25 nautical miles from his departure point.
At today's sentencing, Magistrate Sharon Cure described Hector's approach as "cavalier".
"Taking the risk was unjustified," she said.
"An extremely high level of responsibility is attached to the right to fly.
"It's important a clear message is sent that reckless conduct leads to punishment."
Magistrate Cure took into account Hector's guilty plea, his prospect for rehabilitation, the financial burden of the incident, the subsequent court action and his young family in sentencing him to six months' imprisonment, wholly suspended.
"[You] only just avoided an actual term of imprisonment," she said.
