The CASA response to this incident is worth following.

Most likely in a Black & White application of the Law, these guys did commit an offence. But did they really do anything worse than thousands of others did last Christmas Day when those who received drones in their Santa Sacks went out to play with them in their backyard?

 

This flight would be classed as a "proof of concept" activity. The aircraft did not rise anywhere near the 300 ft limit for RC aircraft. It did not fly over a built-up area, or gatherings of people. The aircraft was in full sight of the operator at all times. If CASA proceeds any further than issuing a Caution to these people, then anyone with ideas of designing and testing an aircraft that does not follow the usual planiform wing, tubular body and vertical stabiliser shape we recognise, will be in trouble with CASA.

 CASA ( Conspiracy Against Sensible Aviation) has one aim, and that is to ground criminal pilots, having made them ALL potential criminals  they just haven't got them all yet . Some are still flying, so "their" job is ongoing. Nev .

They have a long history of been trained for their role.

 

NSW the convict state.

 

Not a convict?

 

Keep breathing, the government will fix that.

I agree with @old man emu - Unf, as this has made the headlines, the regulator would be accused of being remiss for not at least investigating the event; though the fella in the chair I guess would only be an accomplice and who knows who Stig is? If they didn't investigate it, it may send a signal to the nutters out there that they can do stupid stuff and put public in harms way. Rational people wouldn't think that, but nutters would take the leap of faith from non-threatening to threatening.

 

I hope, if anything comes of it, it is just a warning...

 

 

[old man emu]

One has to remember that the penalty for an offence that is written in any legislation is the maximum penalty that can be given. Nobody ever quotes the minimum penalty, which is a Caution. So there is a wide range of  penalty that a Court can impose. In this case, a Caution would suffice. Probably a more useful penalty would be to have these blokes make a video in which they inform their followers that, although what they did was fun, they were breaking the Law, and that people shouldn't do it.

 

However, here is a case of the Law -v- Progress,  Themis -v- Hephaestus

IF you want to get all philosophical about the application of LAW, you should not have any penalty with an "example to others involved" as a major factor in the determination of the severity of the penalty as that approach has no defined limits as to it's extent and tends to be arbitrarily applied. . Restitution is a good principle to consider as the situation of victims is addressed . An essential part of resolution of the crime. In some countries attempted suicide is a crime. You can't be getting out of paying your debts that easily  Nev

" it may send a signal to the nutters out there that they can do stupid stuff and put public in harms way. "

 

Like the helium balloon-chair craze that didn't happen!.

What law did they break?

 

 

[facthunter]

There's a good chance, plenty of them . ALL with no right to defend yourself. Laws of strict liability. Nev

 

 

[spacesailor]

BUT

 

As a passenger in an unregistered aircraft, can that passenger be charged with anything at all.

 

AND

 

Just a little question: How does a quadracopter yaw ?,

[facthunter]

 More or less awkwardly I guess. Maybe everyone puts their hand out on one side.. Good question actually.

 

      Under what type of plane,... it's got to be listed as  variable vectored thrust contraption.. It certainly does not fly  in the normal sense of the word.  Nev

Does anyone know the reasoning behind Jessi Combs and crew using a modified Starfighter; I would think it would be a lot safer to purpose build a vehicle.

 

 

[spacesailor]

Cheap as chips Stateside.

 

Not an airworthy military jet, but it was Not supposed to Fly.
