Without wishing to diverge the thread too much, I am increasingly concerned about the low-level antics of a Gyrocopter near where I work in Italy, and I am wondering if there is an appropriate reporting channel here. This guy regularly flies ultra-low over the lake on Summer Sundays (when it is crowded with boats and people) and shows off. I estimate that he is 20-30 feet above the water at times, and when he does hard turns, like he did over the top of my family the other day, his rotor tips are probably about 15-25 feet above peoples' heads. I am almost thinking of firing flares at him to warn him off next time! This guy is an accident waiting to happen - does anyone know if there is a simple way of reporting this in Italy, or is it like most other things here - the bureaucracy is such a nightmare that you just give up?

Non PC plod - lucky to have your family on that beautiful lake this time of year - stop moaning - hope things are well :ok:

TC. Yes - Its bellissimo! (Until it gets contaminated with bits of red gyrocopter, which is only a matter of time!)

I believe the person who was hit by the dauphin rotor blade was to the front of the helicopter where it comes quite low down?
