This is what gives general aviation and bad name. IMO anyone who pulls a

Just out of curiosity, did he violate any aviation regulations (except
for the recklessness catch-all, if the landing was unsafe)? Obviously
the altitude and obstacle-clearance regulations in 91.119 don't apply,
since he was landing.

So if he were quick witted enough, he would have said, "Gee, that
engine was running rough so I had to put it down..."

Well sure, an emergency would have made the landing legal. But what I
was wondering is which FAR, if any, was violated by the landing given
the actual, non-emergency circumstances.

You know the FAA is gonna slap him with 91.13: " (a) Aircraft
operations for the purpose of air navigation. No person may operate an
aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life
or property of another."

That one covers a multitude of sins....
