I generally try to read rather than respond to forum comments and I personally respect anything you write. You are probably the most valuable member of the forum.
Perhaps I was a little strong to say he violated the law. However, laws give the authorization and direction to the FAA to issue regulations and guidelines for the national airspace that have the authority of law.
My point continues to be we are our own worst enemy. The press and politicians will continue to use isolated instances of questionable behavior of a few individuals against all of us. It’s great to declare one has a right to the air above your property even if it’s in a NFZ. Or that the system should be somehow be modified to accommodate you. Hopefully, implementation of LAANC will provide some relief to those who wat to fly in parts of NFZs. But, unless we do a better job self policing to the existing rules and guidelines we (In the USA at least) will continue to have more and more restrictions put on our hobby. We’re not guns. Our Constitution will not protect us.
And again SAR104, thanks for all the great work you do for this forum.
I maybe should have elaborated further - I was not defending the pilot in this case and I don't disagree with the advice - I just think that it's important to understand these distinctions.
