Good points. It would not be an iron-clad case, but the FAA might just get pissed enough to try to make an example of him.

Since he is making $30,000 plus per month flying drones, the FAA may decide that he is a commercial sUAV operator. Perhaps the FAA should look into his actions, and his sAUV pilot qualifications (or...

I agree with Sport_Pilot. He flew too close to a full scale aircraft. This contrary to the AMA safety code (and probably the guidelines of any other CBO that I may not be aware of,) and will thus...

True. There has been exactly 0 evidence thus far to suggest that it was a sUAV of any type. They can't even tell if the plane was hit by an object in the first place.

I have to agree here. Low and slow (e.g. takeoffs and landings) are the most dangerous phases of flight. Any evasive maneuvers during takeoff and landing are much more likely to cause a stall, as...

I do recall that, no everyone stooped complaining after a year or two. It would be an act of brilliance, since 336 only restricts the FAA (not the FCC) from regulation model aircraft. I don't think...

My thoughts exactly. The fines and legal fees may well exceed the cost of the Phantom, and the camera. If the pilot is convicted of a crime, he may not even get the equipment back in the first place....
