I see no reason for the FAA to have been involved in the Pirker incident. None of there business. Not that he was not stupid and risking injury to others. Just that it should have been a local LE matter.

Mr. Pirker , with his "Black sheep squadron" videos all over boobtoob showing him flying around various U.S. locations , basically "thumbed his nose" at the FAA , and the FAA has a long history of making examples of fools like Mr. Pirker . The Video he was prosecuted wasn't his first , or even fifth , that showed him flying over people's heads here in the U.S. , a clear safety issue and my personal opinion is that the FAA let him off TOO easily because he was a foreigner from a U.S. friendly country who didn't happen to be an islamic terrorist !

[QUOTE=rcmiket;12174321]Just how does any of what you just posted relevant to how the AMA updates or fails to update it's members? I have no doubt in my mind that the FAA, LLE or my grandmother cares what I do.

No, it is about a Federal Agency trying to grab all the power it can. Especially those reserved for state and local government. In fact they know it ill not make anybody safer.

Which applicable state penalties would have hurt more? Why didn't the state file any charges?

I will say that in all of my years following aviation and reading about the idiots who get into trouble with it , it was the always FAA and not a State , that punished stupidity involving airborne objects . In fact , just last summer , I recall the FAA prosecuting some dolt who tied 5000 helium balloons to a lawn chair and was up floating around where he didn't belong .
Sport gets bored and drops an "out there" post every so often to get some action going in the threads . Maybe he's actually an RCU operative whose mission is to increase site traffic ? Naa , he just likes dropping the ol steaming dung heap onto the middle of the floor to watch the reactions !

They did and still do have a say in airspace below navigable airspace. Just not anything that has to do with protecting navigable airspace or certified aircraft. Some have regulations over hang gliders, ultralights, etc.

Wrong. Many states prevented flying of model aircraft in certain areas. Still do. Also some states have laws about reckless operation of anything that moves. Also trespassing laws include model aircraft and sUAV. The FAA never had a say about this till the Pirker case.

Well here is a Georgia law. How bout that recent LA law banning sUAV flight near buildings and limiting their altitude to 500 feet. If you are talking about older laws, well those probably no longer exist. But be assured the FAA did not care till about the mid 2000's.
