  • According to the FAA rules this isn't illegal. The height requirements are, 1,000 ft above the the highest obstacle within 2,000 ft. of the obstacle in highly populated area, 500 ft. above sparsely populated areas, and no requirements over water. The only stipulation is that you can't pose a threat to other persons or property. These are the rules for the U.S. VH is an Australian designation so I'm not sure what the rules are there.

    Whether or not it is a smart thing to do is a different story.

  • This is happening during a flying lesson? Whether it's legal or not, it's a very poor example to set. I know this is a couple of years old, and I wonder how the student is doing. Please tell me that you haven't tried anything similar on your own.

  • @fancyzippo I'm only a private pilot, but I do believe that you are both right and wrong; According to FAR 91.119(c), you are correct. However, citing FAR 91.13(b), this person is "operating an aircraft... in a caraless or wreckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another." If the PIC owned the plane, and was the only occupant, then I can see how it would be legal. Personally, it does look like a ton of fun and I'd love to try it myself... AFTER I buy my own plane!

  • @fancyzippo It also depends on the type of airspace you are in.

  • Ready for Reno,check out complete.

  • Incredibly stupid. Beyond words. He was probably texting as well.....

  • And come on guys. It is something everyone needs to experience

  • Believe it or not, if the pilot was in a remote area without much population and he was airshow endorsed this could be perfectly legal if they were wearing parachutes

  • Stupid, just mindlessly stupid

  • Completly reckless , that instructor needs to lose his job .. He is a terrible role model for new pilots

  • your instructor must not want to keep his license very long,that was completely stupid to do,no room for error,not to mention the overbanking.

  • Why not use a bucket of water,soap and a little elbow grease?
