FAA issues warning to passenger who filmed bird strike

May 02, 2012|By Jim Barnett, CNN
 
A Delta Air Lines passenger who admitted using an electronic device last month to videotape a bird strike minutes after takeoff has been warned by the Federal Aviation Administration to follow the rules or face a penalty the next time.
The plane bound for Los Angeles made an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on April 19 after encountering an engine problem the pilot said was caused by a bird strike, an incident caught on camera by Grant Cardone.

I saw this story and was shocked at first that the FAA would warn a passengers about filming during takeoff. I'm not sure what a camcorder could do to interfere with avionics but I would think they would be thankful to have this valuable video. I know that this video will be used in training and to educate pilots and inspectors of bird strikes. Sometimes a little thank you and common sense would go a long way. -Just my two cents-
