Original Message Go onto the Faa website. https://www.faa.gov/foia/foia_coordinators/regional_service_centers/?region=asw this happened to me this pass May. Landing at a school to pick up my son. With prior approval and landing site. in class "C" and having to circle about 7 minutes before my LZ was cleared. And the wife that teaches at the school over seeing the LZ and no one out on school campus except her (kids were still in last hour) BUT the principal didn't inform the school deputies of the arrangement. Well here comes Barnie Fife coming around the corner all ready talking to dispatch to contact the Faa. he proceeded to pull me out of the helicopter before shutdown and I told him he'd better back off until I shut down or he'd be responsible for the safety of others. principal showed up and straighten things out. Just had to wait about 10 minutes after the crap until we could take off. 200' agl contacted tower with intentions and approval ...500' agl 04X we have a number for you to call. call was to the tower asking for contact information a week later Faa called and asked what happened proceed to answer.. but before he could talk to me he had to send me the pilots bill of rights have me read it and email him back stating that I understood it. He ask that I send him a statement of MY VIOLATION. I proceeded to explain that I wasn't reckless OR put anyone or anything in danger as he was stating. this is what I sent him. short and nothing more! Mr. ???????, statment from the deputy Good morning, About a week or so later the Faa called me and ask me what I learned from this incident (keep in mind I didn't see or know how many statements were mad to the Faa) I kept asking what incident or violation. He kept repeating reckless and indangermen. and I kept repeating that no one was any danger or was I reckless check the records of the tower and the voice recordings where I circled until the LZ was clear. well the Faa stated that he had several statements from deputies and a few from school officials and parents and who would a judge believe the cops or me. he stated the judge would believe the officials ,...not the PILOT The one in the drivers seat. well we agreed to both disagree. so I told him probably what I may have learned was to trust but verify Faa informed me that I will be on watch for 2 years and told don't screw up again I believe this was a form of Intimidation under the FOIA I obtained the 2 statements and that son of a B!!,h at the Faa was lying to me. There was only one complaint / statement from the Cops. The other was from the principal explaining the permission and the mixup. Well I don't trust the FAA but I am verifying my records. if you made it this far just my .02 of what happened to me
