500' rule question

C;acton Pier

I think the landing was made by my dear mate, Derek Hammond. Ask Gary Slater at Manston .... he'll surely know.

There is a bit about the Clacton Pier case in this thread: Congested Areas.

Flying Lawyer made the point:

The pilot was accused of endangering. The jury heard the evidence, including evidence from people who saw the helicopter land and depart, and didn't think he endangered anybody so found him not guilty.
