  1. the aircraft was 100% authorized to fly, and totally safe to fly, and local authorities have NO legal authority to say otherwise.

  2. nor does the female city official claiming they have legal authority over airspace.

  3.  @amiebrewer562  but no rules were broken at all. the pilot was 100% in the right,
    50
  4. and the city official, everything she said was a lie and false.
    47
  5. not one thing she said was true. the pilot did Nothing wrong, and did everything right. The pilot did not need to ask anybody's permission to do what he did. I'm speaking as an Airplane and Helicopter CFII on this. The city and fire officials had/have no legal authority of any kind over the airspace and aviation.

  6. Not only that, everything she said was false. The pilot literally did NOTHING wrong, and everything he did that day was 100% legal in every way. I'm a Helicopter and Airplane CFII myself, former military, former Civil Air Patrol. Local authorities have no legal authority over airspace of any kind at ANY time, period. The ONLY gov authorities who can EVER control US airspace is the FAA and US military. I wouldn't have complied. I'd have taken off again, rescued everyone, and simply landed somewhere else instead of going back to where the fire chief was.

  9.  @ajcates9136  but the TFR didn't exist the day the pilot was doing the rescue flights. And even local police can't arrest you for a TFR violation without going through the FAA.

  10.  @shadowsrwolf  the FAA is in charge of all TFRs

  11.  @82Lineman  even With a TFR, the Fire Chief still has Zero authority over the airspace. It's the FAA's jurisdiction to deal with a pilot who violates a TFR. But since there was no TFR at teh time, then there was no issue with teh pilot doing what he did. And even with TFRs, you can get permission to enter depending upon the reason for the TFR.

  12. There is no correct chain of command. what the pilot did was 100% legal and correct. There exists no process nor procedure for that pilot to follow at that time. Nor was permission of any kind required. I'm a Helicopter and Airplane CFII myself, former military, former Civil Air Patrol. Local authorities have no legal authority over airspace of any kind at ANY time, period. The ONLY gov authorities who can EVER control US airspace is the FAA and US military.

  14.  @AllisonReece  Right? There is no doubt he'd ignore whatever rules he felt like to save them.

  15. yup, everything she claimed was a lie and legally false.

  16. Wrong. the rules the Fire Chief and city official keep claiming exist, do not exist at all. the pilot literally did NOTHING wrong, and everything he did that day was 100% legal in every way. I'm a Helicopter and Airplane CFII myself, former military, former Civil Air Patrol. Local authorities have no legal authority over airspace of any kind at ANY time, period.

  17. she claims they weren't authorized to be there? She has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY over airspace at ALL.

  18. there is no "right steps" to follow. the local authorities have NO authority over airspace. Necessary channels she is referring to do not exist. I am an airplane and helicopter CFII. when he flew in there he was 1000% within his rights to do so, and they had no legal authority to send him away at that time. He put literally NO ONE in danger.

  21.  @MilitaryCollectibles  yup, everything she said was a lie. The pilot did everything 100% correct and legal, and had every right to be there. Speaking as a Helicopter and Airplane CFII and former military as well as a former member of Civil Air Patrol. Local authorities have literally ZERO legal authority over airspace of ANY kind. Nothing the Fire Chief or that lady said was true nor legally correct. There are zero "proper channels" that pilot needed to go through to do what he did that day.

  25. no it doesn't we just saw all the evidence, and we know the laws. The city official and fire chief were both 100% wrong about everything and had no legal authority.
