Louis Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 He was found guilty.http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/reckless-oap-pilot-guilty-towing-12844950 A “reckless” pilot was fined for flouting flight safety law - by towing a pro Bill Kenwright banner dangerously close to Goodison Park.Alan Elliott , 68, was paid by an Everton fan to display the banner, which stated: “Thank you Mr Kenwright” in support of the club chairman, but flew as close as 400ft to the packed stadium.The pensioner, who ran banner towing firm air-ads.com, was prosecuted by airspace regulation body the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) after an amateur pilot spotted the plane from the stands and raised concerns.Elliott, of Leigh Road in West Houghton, Bolton, was today convicted of breaching the Air Navigation Order 2009 after a trial at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court, and was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay £8,500 in prosecution costs.The regulation, also contained within EU law, states that no aircraft should fly over a congested area at a height lower than 1,000ft within a 600m radius of the highest obstacle.Elliott claimed he had been forced to breach the regulation to avoid flying into cloud, due to rapidly deteriorating weather, – an exception allowed under the law.But District judge Wendy Lloyd found Elliott guilty, and said she was sure he had made the “reckless decision” to fly so close to the stadium for “commercial purposes.”She said: “We of course know that nothing happened, and I’m not told that anything was about to happen in regards to an accident or mishap of any kind, but the reality is the rules are there to be followed to ensure the safety of those in a congested area.“I find that you flouted those rules because you had an overwhelming desire to get that job done.”Elliott had taken off from Blackpool Airport on December 19, 2015, intending to fly the banner over Goodison Park shortly before the Blues kicked off against Leicester City at 3pm – a match attended by 39,000 spectators.The court heard he had been paid £800 by fan Steven Brydon-Kenny, who disagreed with previous banners paid for by other fans calling for Mr Kenwright’s resignation.He told the court: “I could quite clearly see the lights at Goodison Park. What I could also see was that the weather behind me had turned very very dark, it closed in very black.”Elliott said as he was approaching the stadium he encountered “the most rapid deterioration of weather” he had experienced in “30 years of flying.”He claimed: “The conditions were bad, it was difficult, I had my hands full controlling the aircraft. My sole concern was maintaining visual references..I felt then and I still feel now I took the safest course of action.”But he was contradicted by his own co-pilot and defence witness Andrew Nicholls – who said the severe weather had not set in until the Cessna light aircraft had almost completed it’s first circuit of the stadium.Jonathan Duffy, prosecuting on behalf of the CAA, produced screengrabs from Mr Nicholl’s Twitter account – which showed a picture of the stadium posted at 3.05pm on the day with the caption “#Kenwright #banner #Goodison.”He suggested that it was unusual to post a picture on Twitter moments after escaping a “life-threatening” emergency.Mr Duffy suggested Elliott could have flown towards the Mersey Estuary or to green spaces away from the 39,000 fans gathered at the stadium.He asked: “Was it a coincidence that the one place that you thought was the best place to avoid these potential dangers, was the very place that you were commercially instructed to fly to?”Elliott told the court he had “no intention” to display the banner and was merely using the lights of the stadium for reference.Amateur pilot Peter Smith, watching the game from the Paddock area in the Lower Bullens stand, reported the incident to the CAA after seeing the plane flying “significantly lower than 500ft.”Appearing as a witness, he told the court: “My initial reaction was ‘gosh that’s low’. It was also noticed by a couple of people around me who have no interest in aircraft; my cousin sat next to me said ‘that’s low isn’t it?”Derek Pye, defending Elliott, said his client had never been convicted of any offence before and had received no cautions or reprimands from the CAA for flying offences.
