1 - Will the pilot get fined (FAA, NTSB, NYPD, parks authority,
anyone)?
FAA - not likely, might get a 709 ride out of it.


You think the FAA would want to checkride him after he glided the plane
to safety with no damage? I can't image that. What will they test him
on, his emergency landing skills? He already proved that he can do it
safely...

You betcha. They 709 ride people who gear up planes due to mechanical
failure who do perfect landings as well.


Gear up is an incident. Landing in a park isn't...
