Robo Display at a Wedding
Typical....Pilot going on about motorbikes and helicopters when all those other beautiful young things are present in large numbers!
The gentleman talking in the video is a well known supercar owner, and vblogger, https://www.mrjww.com
He does own some highly desirable cars... however as Sasless says, there was much more to look at at that wedding than a Robbie doing pedal turns...

Hmmm - 500' rule is the first thing that springs to mind - that and trying to do bows, nods and high nose down in a teetering head helicopter is asking for trouble
BTW a pedal turn is a vertical (or close to it) manoeuvre - level, yawing turns are not 'pedal turns'.

SAS,
There was an old bull and a young bull on top of a hill.................................you know the rest of it!

Do you know what his experience was? He may well be a highly trained military pilot. Judging the performance on a small piece of video. It looked nice and smooth, probably no wear on the components...
Whoops sorry, wrong thread.

Obviously, the chap taking the video was the FDD and the pilot would have informed the CAA 28 days in advance to obtain permission and had the necessary display authority in place. Everything will have been in order, bearing in mind that the aircraft registration is part of the title of the video and a quick look makes it very obvious who the company involved are.
And them being a CAA approved flying school as well......tsk tsk

Would that depend on whether the action is in the horizontal or vertical plane?
When will people ever realise that holding the phone horizontal gives them a better chance of keeping the action on the screen?
The star of the show finally gets on screen between 1:09 and 1:12.
Someone needs to provide training to the camera man about composition and subject.

Shytorque: its 42 days notice and there is NO permission available that allows a helo to fly over a crowd or property that is inhabited.
All in all this has all the ingredients of a disaster which would result in a very very sad ending indeed.
shame there are still cowboys around after the shoreham crash.
But hey _ lets not be a spoilsport eh? It is after all a wedding and a gathering together of friends family and children.
No harm done was there....FFS

TC you can get most permissions within a couple of days. I think you will find that you can fly over people, otherwise no one could fly anywhere. Law only really kicks in at a gathering of over 1000 people, but you are quite right you cant fly over the crowd.
The biggest problem is in the CAA, they will almost never prosecute anyone, so most of the cowboys will fly knowing there is almost no risk in having one's collar felt
