To the R-22 buzzing Sea Cliff Golf Course
11-17-2006 approx 1350 hours:
To the pilot of the yellow & red R-22 buzzing Sea Cliff Golf Course & the surrounding homes at 50 to 100' agl, what you did is in violation of the FAR's & very unsafe. Your info has been forwarded to the FAA. |

To the R-22 buzzing Sea Cliff Golf Course
Are they broadcasting a competition from that course, soon? They always
seem to show helicopter views of the hole being previewed. It gives a great idea of the length, the lay, the position of the obstacles and the position of the hole on the green in about 5-10 seconds, and it always appears to be done from treetop level.

Paragraph d in particular. It all comes down to whether or not the "...operation is conducted without hazard to persons or rpoperty on the surface." Im going to go out on a limb here & guess 30 knots at 50' agl is no beuno according to the HVC in the POH for the R-22. I'll also guess the FAA frowns upon those who repeatedly fly 50' over the roofs of houses & golf course club houses full of people for no purpose other than showing off. Sounds like a violation of 91.13a Careless or reckless operation to me. |

Linc No.... This was buzz job plain & simple. But even it was, TV is not exempt from the FAR's. |

But you CAN get permission from the local FSDO for these types of operations as long as the folks at the FSDO feel you've taken proper safety precautions. This was not the case & at any rate they are not going to permit flying 50' over numerous houses. |

The HVC is really intended for takeoffs. If you're straight and level or descending inside the curve on the POH, and engine failure isn't as critical as if you were climbing or hovering in those areas. Still, not too smart to be that slow and that low unless you're making an approach to land. I seem to remember it saying something to the effect "operation not recommended within the shaded area. No mention of take off & landing. I have seen a number of cases where pilots were violated for operating in this manner. In the violation the FAA cited the HVC in the POH. The bottom line is that this kind of flying gives the rest of us undeserved attention. |

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. |
