If he wasn’t under 20,000 feet until the engine seized up then he’s not in violation of the law!
“If he wasn’t under 20,000 feet until the engine seized up then he’s not in violation of the law!”
LOL! That plane cannot reach 20,000 feet.
The premise of their ordinance (if that’s what it is) was contingent on undefined “high speed” low altitude flights.
This pilot certainty wasn’t engaging in the kind of disruptive ‘high speed’ endeavor where they might have had a concern.
The pilot said he was at 3,500 feet when the trouble began.
He’s still not in violation of the law. No matter what is altitude. The Indian tribe cannot override FAA air space.
I don’t think a Stinson will go to 20K feet. Maybe 7 or 8K.
