Yes indeed. To the OP - just talk to a lawyer, can be quite brief and not particularly expensive. AOPA has a list of aviation lawyers or just search the web, find one you feel comfortable and who has a good reputation.

Everybody likes to blast lawyers until they need one (I'm biased as I'm married to one.) However, in this case you are just ensuring you are not making huge mistakes, and the advice you get would be much better than on an anonymous internet forum. If you hire the lawyer, they work for YOU and nobody else.

As you get older you will be in more and more situations that require a lawyer, which makes important transactions much more smoothly than dealing with somebody that may try to screw you over, and they may keep you from making major mistakes.

+1000 to NO FURTHER POSTINGS on this board, talk to an aviation lawyer, and if you fly right probably nothing will ever come of this. In fact, if I were you I'd go back and edit out any identifying details of the incident we were discussing.

Check both directions for illegally parked aircraft, and if this is the only aviation incident you have in your career it will be a very good one.
