Low planes

[Deleted member 62848]

OK I in residential area,talk about Low planes cesnas ,I know I have to give way by law but what if they circle below 400ft above where I stay,,if it was a drone the cops be here,,now I put my drone up to give him a greeting and a wave it's lucky he not return but waited for him,[Language removed by Moderator[,,who's these pilots that invade my space,he circle 4 times in which I thought that's it so sent drone up,,am I in the wrong,I might still lay complaint to CAA,,,at that height in a plane if something goes wrong he's in the poo,,no airspace to try save it,,no I'm not ranting ,,decisions, thoughts and ideas appreciated,,little me going to make a stand off,I regret not taking a picture cause it not the only time,,blooming learner pilots should have there own turf ,not cruising around over town and houses at very low rpm,,,I be waiting for his return tommorow

Ya need some of these in your neighborhood ianzone! They keep those pesky little buzzboxes to a minimum in my area. Flight path to their Cannon Range takes em right over my house, sometimes at treetop level.

[Deleted member 62848]

Another update,,tower says they at 1000 to 1500ft,,I can't prove he was below,he was well below this height so I'm fighting a rock at moment

 

[Shoot4fun]

Give em Hell ian! Don't give up if you feel you're in the right. God luck and keep us posted on the results

 

[Deleted member 62848]

Bit of a losing battle but there won't get rid of me in a hurry,,tower observation must have been radar cause way out of there sight for them to observe height from tower,

@ianzone bud I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...

It's VERY difficult to determine an aircraft's accurate altitude from the ground without training/experience and a scale reference item/point. I was circling a family members home a couple years back at 1000'AGL and my father-in-law said, "I'm surprised you are allowed to fly below 400' in this area."

Also it's possible that someone from CAA could potentially be more "aware" of your location, flying style, and self admitted propensity to launch your sUAS in the vicinity of manned aircraft. We call this "putting ourselves on the radar" and that's something you always want to avoid. My suggestions is to play it VERY safe going forward and find an alternate area to fly for a while or make VERY certain you are grounded when a manned aircraft comes into the area.

I couldn't agree more with every word in that post.

Ian, respectfully, please go back and read that one again.

You should not launch when there's a manned aircraft flying in your area and you should definitely not tell the authorities, or the www, that you are doing so.

Poke a hornet's nest and you have a very good chance of being stung.

My best to you my friend, take care

Yip understand well and I don't want to make myself a target or give others bad name in this Hobbie, not usually fly above where I'm staying,it's just up and back down to take pictures of island,I have not been flying lately because I am between airports and do play safe,this 1 plane was in the wrong and they know it , I knew I should have taken picture from ground but after this plane doing low circles,me Mr impatient launched, the plane was gone but I stayed in hover,I know it was a stupid thing to do but there was no risk to anyone,just sounds bad and probly marked for good now,as in my reply to airport I should have showed more restraint and sat on my hands,this not the only occasion they come past at low height and I'm ready with me cam to catch them out,already been lite aircraft crashs in this regin over the years and they all cesna craft,I'm sure if I ask anyone in this district they will agree planes come low and at idle speed,,pretty gutted cause they have all me info so if I get in trouble got myself to blame,they seem to think I'm stupid Rouge pilot ,I keep all my flights so it keeps me safe in that part ,this plane was just low full stop and I can't prove it,it's like a line of people protecting people,,,so to all phantom pilots and other flyers sorry for attracting attention,if I get in trouble I take my punishment no worries,just hope me drones not get confiscated I tryed ,Ian v giants .I lost

Why do some novice model aircraft operators feel they must Police the (manned aircraft) skies?

You should just mind your own business and make sure you operate safely.
Neither your or your property were mentioned to be at risk yet you were driven to make a splash.

Go ahead and leave if you want, who cares if you stay or go?
Who cares if I stay or go?

No I don't police the sky,,why you reply,you just made me mad,another reason for me to disapear ,,I'm a nobody so no one care anyway,your reply is taken on board though,mind my own business just winds me up to exploding point,what's my screen name got to do with it,shall I change it again,I don't care anymore

No I don't police the sky,,...

You may be deluded.

Your OP initiating this thread was all about manned aircraft 'invading your space' and 'going to make a stand', etc.

You own/operate a toy flying-camera. Get a grip.

I think maybe we're getting a bit too passionate about this.
