5500' and directly over the LZ.

A clear violation of airspace restrictions.

Re: A clear violation of airspace restrictions.
Nice try, Orian. The pilot in the video (me) states that he is "Almost directly over the landing zone" and from the video, he was clearly well North of Gavina Street at the time. Why don't you check your sectional chart that was in effect on before 09/30/2008 and report what it says about the airspace North of Gavina Street. IIRC the airspace there is between 3000' and 4800', so 5500' is 700' above the airspace in question anyway. South of Gavina Ave, we do need to be below 3,000'.
Cheers, Jonathan
I am so sick and tired of pilots violating the airspace above the Lz, So I'm going to do something about it ,when I was in the German army I was driving one of those anti aircraft tanks and I had opportunity to purchase one and it is hidden now by the bridge in the bushes, here is a little demonstration video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYVzEF1I-X4 And if that doesn't help I'm working on a prototype gun, I just have to make it light enough to fit a hang glider. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sALiuWg_I1k And if everything else fails Joe has a connection to the National Guard's in Sylmar what are able to call in A 10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6itQfUwF1o all those weapons are designed to get you down in a hurry, So Jonathan and others be where I'm watching....Mad Max

Bwa Haw Haw! Good work! We do have to make sure that visiting pilots understand about the airspace restrictions and the residential overflight restrictions too. Last week a visiting pilot got kind of low out West and made a beeline for the LZ.OP wrote:On closer inspection, you are correct, .................@ 5400' it looks like you where above it.
Also, your videos are awesome. My intention was just to give you a hard time and make talking point. Keep them coming.
Luckily, no feathers were ruffled.
I tagged the LZ once at about 5400' on a really buoyant day and got the thought doing that should be one of the GPS way points at the Dahlston cup.
Max, I think if you shoot 100 holes in a gliders sail it might knock a point or 2 off of its glide ratio. The pilot could always order a custom kevlar Moyes Matrix harness too.

Pretty sure that Kevlar wouldn't stay a chance against the gattling gun of an A10.dhmartens wrote:I tagged the LZ once at about 5400' on a really buoyant day and got the thought doing that should be one of the GPS way points at the Dahlston cup.

* Accuracy: 80% of rounds fired at 4,000 feet (1,200 m) range hit within a 20 feet (6.1 m) radius
o PGU-14/B API Armor Piercing Incendiary (DU)
o PGU-13/B HEI High explosive incendiary
o PGU-15/B TP Target Practice
* Armor penetration:
o 69 mm at 500 meters
o 38 mm at 1000 meters
So unless the harness used a new ultralight composite armor, he would most likely be Swiss cheese. However the use of DU Depleted Uranium shells would be politically unpopular because of all the collateral damage to the neighborhoods as well as radiation poisoning to the watershed in the San Gabriel mountains. Therefore I would recommend a sniper rifle for high altitude reprisal and for low altitude, there is nothing better than a good old flame thrower as demonstrated here:
