Apparently he has been not only flying (if it can be called that) but flying Young Eagles flights! I haven't seen this take place so that I could stop or question him, but what is my legal responsibility? I do feel a moral responsibility to stop this guy...
Then do something about it!
I am the last person in the world to want to get someone in trouble, but some people just don't get it. Safety is involved here. It's one thing if you goes out and just hurts himself, but if he hurts a Young Eagle...
If you are still concerned, contact your local FSDO and get the name of your local FAA SafetyTeam member (the old Aviation Safety Counselor). Inform him or her of the situation. Let them do the follow-up. They are not FAA, but are the next step. They have been trained in the proper procedures to ensure not only safety, but the flying privileges of the pilot in question.
