[from the article...]

The actor explains, "I'm being censored by the FAA and they're going to
ground me. The hardest thing about flying is holding altitude. It's a
three-dimensional effort."

breaking altitude rules."


Apparently he was never cleared for the approach in to Teterboro (NJ -
USA)?

From the article:

"And the control tower said, 'What are you doing?' And I said, 'I'm
following the approach.' They said, 'You weren't cleared for 2,000 feet,
go back up.' If you change your altitude by five hundred feet the
computer automatically catches it."
