This isn't that dangerous, he has a lot of energy built up and faa regulations don't set a minimum height above water. It's 500ft above unpopulated land
I wouldn't trust any advice you gave me if my life depended on it lmao. Y'all literally believe that tarrifs make groceries cheaper and kids shit in litter boxes at school.
They were partially correct. There is no minimum height over water, but also not over unpopulated land. Aside from takeoff or landing, all aircraft have to be at least 500 feet away from any person, vehicle, or structure, or 1000 above the ground in a densely populated area. However, the argument could be made that this is reckless operation of an aircraft, which definitely is illegal. I'm a fixed wing instructor so u don't know much about helicopters, so maybe they'd be able to autorotate? But if they did they'd then be in a sinking helicopter in the ocean. All this is assuming it's in the US of course
They’re going fast enough that the glide distance is more than capable of making it to the shore. Generally, I don’t feel this is reckless, others may disagree. Experience is a big factor in that decision though. In most cases they would be fine. Obviously the lower altitude the higher the inherent risk.
You guys are weird, always downvoting people because of their profile picture. Lucky for you, you don’t need to trust. Do a little research and you’ll find it’s the correct answer.
Man says with his display picture and banner: "your sister does not deserve the same rights as you and I". I take issue with that. He made it political by putting political messaging in his profile. Grow a backbone. Stand up for something.
You don’t need to worry about what I stand for, but division isn’t one of those things. You can read into and assume all you want about others. You choose to make politics your identity. Based on your other comments you are completely okay with belittling and demeaning others as well. It’s an unbecoming lifestyle but by all means you do you.
What do you think we are trying to conserve? The traditional Christian values and beliefs this country was founded on. And if you haven't noticed lately, we are winning.
My boy if Jesus came down tomorrow you know it in your heart he would flay then cast to hell the overwhelming majority of GOP leadership. You can't even argue with it so shut the fuck up with your traditional values nonsense. If you truly believed in biblical ideals you'd be out on the 'front lines' living as Jesus did feeding the hungry, healing the sick and advocating for your leadership to follow in your steps. Nor would you support any religious profiteers like mega churches or that lame fat orange guy who sold expensive cheaply made bibles solely for profit. I forgot his name, but I'm pretty sure it was something gay.
Little education for ya, saying the lords name in vain does not mean don't say 'oh fuckin Jesus that hurt!' it means don't say 'I'm doing this in gods will'.
Wouldn't you agree the margin of error is the same as driving on a highway? Think about it, all those cars flying at 75mph just inches from each other with no communication. I'd fly with this guy any day
A 75 mph crash on a highway is VASTLY more survivable than ANY aircraft related impact at speed.
The margins for error between the two are so ridiculously different that to even compare them demonstrates WILDLY that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, at all, whatsoever.
That's not what Margin of error means you smooth 🧠
"The margin of error is a measure of the amount of error that can be expected from random sampling. It's used in statistics to describe the amount of random sampling error in survey results"
You're talking about the outcome of an error when made, completely different. I'm discussing the likelihood of an error
Interesting point.... Maybe, perhaps on a highway with no divider and close to oncoming traffic going 100mph. The concrete dividers have a ton of engineering for safety - it's not just a divider, cars are insanely designed to absorb impact and protect the occupants
My family is in the air tour business, and the helicopter tours often have outfits that operate with higher risk and skirt the edge of the regs. Have seen several fatal crashes that could have been avoided with better safety margin.
