All fun and games until tower gives you a number to call.
That’s why I drink and fly. Who’s ever heard of a FUI?
The first hint that something was amiss early Wednesday at the Westchester County Airport was the erratic motion of the low-flying Cessna. Confirmation came moments later when security workers approached the aircraft and beer cans fell out of the cabin as the pilot opened the door.
It’s called a crash and burn
what are they going to do pull you over
Yes. With missiles.
in reality I think ATC will just wait 2 hours for you to run out of fuel and notify the local police for wherever you land
if you’re headed towards the pentagon though they’ll probably shoot you down
Shoot the gas tank, I’m sure it’ll come down sooner or later…
If a cop managed shoot the gas tank on a flying plane, I wouldn’t even be mad if I died in that crash
You spelled drone wrong…
Oh I don’t think it will be the police you need to worry about.
And I’m pretty sure even the smallest militaries have AA guns at this point.
The fuel tanks are in the wings on most planes, they’re not that hard to hit.
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
You ever see those “Speed limit enforced by aircraft” signs? That’s the guy you gotta worry about.
I never actually understood those. Do they actually have, like… a drone? Is it snapping a photo? How’s it all work?
I drive through areas like this all the time for years. I have never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket from this.
So you’ll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.
This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.
Why is that better than the police officer who was going to pull them over just using a speed gun?
shrugs
Less likely to be noticed by drivers or alerts like on Waze. Probably a bit more costly though if they’re using helicopters or planes instead of drones.
It seems like if the purpose was stealth then they wouldn’t have a sign announcing it.
Deterrence. You never know when they might be monitoring you above, so watch your speed.
That’s what “©” means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light
most states
Some states haven’t adopted the most recent version of the laws of physics.
That version’s kinda glitchy, TBH. It’s better they don’t update until it’s been patched a bit more.
I don’t know of any where it’s allowed but I didn’t want to generalize since generalizations are always wrong. Always.
Physics is full of woke librul propaganda like “conservation of energy”.
In my state we obey the laws of alchemy.
… of matter
©stands for CopyRight, doesn’t it?Most of the times, yes
That damned big governement and their rules smh
/s
That thing is not gonna fly forever!
Not with that mindset
Repost. And no, they pull you down.
They’ll shootcha down.
I think they have cameras and radar guns up there, they’ll just mail you the ticket
What goes up most come down
depends on how far up you go
Depends on how
far upfast you go. Reaching space doesn’t mean you can stay there. You need orbital velocity.if i’m half a light year from earth i’m not going to be falling back down
You probably have different problems that far out.
They can pull you over to the next airport lr runway though, and not complying would result in the same situation as with a car lol.
“ According to 49 U.S. Code § 46317, you cannot fly, or attempt to fly, an aircraft without the proper licensure. The penalty for violating this code can be substantial, with a maximum punishment of 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.”

That’s a lot worse than getting pulled over with no driver’s license.
I hear pit maneuvers on aircraft are a little more aggressive than a car.
The military doesn’t like airspace violations much…
Doesn’t really matter which country.
I’m reminded of Mathias Rust. The guy is very lucky he wasn’t shot down.
Holy shit. Yeah, he’s incredibly lucky to not be a pink mist. Still did 14months of a 4 year sentence in a labour camp though.
It happened to a friend (with a pilot license I precise).
He was flying a small two seat aircraft and got contacted through the radio and for asked if he was ok to do a exercice with military aircraft.
He agreed so soon after two fighter jet arrived on his left and right. To be able to fly at the same speed as him they were almost standing vertically. They directed him for a bit without any radio contact, then thanked him through the radio and left.
They were doing a exercise to direct someone with no radio contact.
Even if I knew the jets were exercising, I’d still be making diamonds.
I feel like this is the type of thing where as a passenger you’d be having the time of your life but the pilot? Shaved 10 years off lol.
It’s kind of like driving beside a Police car. but the car is worth $1million easy… (Assuming F-16s or trainers.)
I mean, it’s legal under faa part 103…
You aren’t even allowed to fly a drone over 250g without a license in Germany, what the heck are you doing in America lol
Eagle flag moonshine gun flag eagle
Yes, because nobody can make a thing that stabs the already volatile battery or anything like that…
FAA still references the original policy document written 40 years ago on a word processor. Just wow.
Sounds about right tbh. My first medical processing (special issuance) took exactly 10 months. When I received it, I already had to go in for a reevaluation for the next year.
There is a city in the sky apparently.
Me when I launch my paddleboard without my permit. Who’s gonna stop me? The water cops? (Yes, yes they will 😞)
Where do you live that you need a permit to paddleboard?
PA, as with kayaks I need a launch permit for the lakes and rivers.
Good grief.
I don’t know where op is from but a lot of states, especially in the western US require invasive species tags on any craft over a certain length, like 10 ft. Some also require state registration decals. Idaho is an example of one that takes the invasive species decals and water craft checkpoints very seriously.
Certain locales in CA are pretty big on it too. My local lake is huge on the decontamination thing and require certification on even small kayaks. They also like money too.
