Drone operator charged
And a good thing too!
drone hinders emergency helicopter Apologises if this breaches the copyright at the bottom of the linked page. |
The top of the page article refers to the drone as 'search and Rescue'! Must be quite a size:eek:
|
This is just tabloid sensationalism again, nothing else. Any drone operator would obviously give way to a full-size aircraft. Seems like he was asked to land just because a helicopter was en route. I'm sure the helicopter would have been heard and the drone landed well before arrival.

Chop did you personally witness this? Or are you guessing about the consideration model flyers give emergency service helicopters doing their thing ?

Drone pilot flying over a site and being told to land because a helicopter is en route. Drone pilot asks "how long until it gets here?" He's told twenty minutes Drone pilot says "I will land in fifteen minutes then." Get's reported for refusing to land. Helicopter lands twenty minutes later without incident. (Drone has already landed 5 minutes before because the pilot heard the helicopter coming). Sounds like a police state to me. Just guessing though... |

Drone pilot asks "how long until it gets here?" If there's a pilot aboard the 'drone', is it a drone?:ouch: |

i am buggered if I can imagine by which medium the conversation, as highlighted above, takes place. Perhaps it is a system of semaphore smoke signals??? |

"The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said Stanley several times refused to stop flying his drone while the helicopter was preparing to land." |
Chopchod you really are an endless source of amusement. Happy Easter.
