I am seeing a lot of Gender Reveal Services being advertised from helicopter companies. What type of powder are they using? It looks like most are just droping it from open door or door off operation. Any issues with FAA yet? |

Son, open a FAR/AIM will ya’? You can drop pretty much whatever you want from a helicopter as long as it does not endanger persons or property on the ground. Colored powder or water dropped safely won’t interest the FAA |

It is no issue until you crash and then you will be asking yourself "why the heck was I doing this".Either way,you end up on you tube. |

Boy, I got more time looking at the "FAR/Aim" than you do total in your logbook, and its not even 1/10th of the time in my logbook...First off the FAR's would be the regulatory guidance as the Aim isn't a "rule" book per se. Secondly, irrespective of 14CFR91.17, if you get someone like your mom, ie. a Karen, then the wrong FSDO could charge you with careless and reckless. Maybe the powder isn't FDA/EPA approved, etc. Maybe you think its dropped safely, but your mom, ie. Karen, doesn't think so.
SO, my question, for those that actually have any experience, is; have you experienced any issues with your FSDO about dropping. If so, what did they say? What powder and technique are you using? Thanks in advance for intelligent answers... |

This is actually a pretty honest answer...except for the ego part, it isn't bragging if its true. I did think I would anonyomously get some semi-decent answers. I should have remembered this is the bit$h board for bored EMS pilots. I got the exact value of advice that I paid for... |

How would you know anything about my logbook or logbook(s) meaning 17 of them? My entire career has been about external loads. Dropping everything from water to explosives. You’re right. No matter what we do someone,somewhere will likely think it’s wrong or unauthorized. Usually those uninformed. Don’t count on some FAA flunky to understand the regs either. As for my mom? Well she passed 18 years ago but her name is Linda and hated Karen types and weasels hiding behind keyboards. |

The Speech: Everyone, as I graduate here today I've decided I'm really a woman inside, not a man. My plan after graduation is to commit a crime, get arrested/convicted, go to prison, and have the gov't (you taxpayers) pay for my medications and my gender-reassignment surgeries. I will then live happily ever after. That is MY GENDER REVEAL!!! No powder nor helicopters are needed. Thank you for funding my life. |
