To the R-22 buzzing Sea Cliff Golf Course

Linc No.... This was buzz job plain & simple. But even it was, TV is not exempt from the FAR's. If it was TV, then like Kevin said, I would've expected they would discuss their plans with the FSDO to head off complaints. Of course, I would also expect a notice by the course to the nearby homeowners. Linc |

Linc Any of us that have flown over a golf course knows that most course lay outs, for the purpose of TV fliming, would allow approaches & departures along the fairways till a safe altitude is reached. I see no need to fly over homes at low level. Doing so only invites trouble. I know the course in question. The PGA, LPGA, Champions & Nationwide Tours do not play there. It is a private course near the beach surrounded by residential homes. Very expensive homes. |

Videographer filming for a video brochure for the golf course or a
gated community, then? Or photographer for the same? Stan is probably correct in his assumption that it was a joyrider. I'm just trying to determine if there could possibly be a legitimate reason for the pilot to be doing that at all, and I have to wonder if Stan did the same, or if he just saw something and immediately concluded the pilot was totally wrong.
