He could have just said : “Vacating RWY36” and we wouldn’t be sitting here coughing up hair balls.
It would behoove him to be the better man and offer the kid a ride in his plane.
After all what he said was incorrect and he said as much.

After looking at the kid's profile it is obvious he has a mental disorder.

A person who would report such a ridiculous "issue" is the male version of a Karen. If I would have been the FAA guy who took the call, I would have taken down his info, then summarily tossed it in the trash. Kind of like when I'm sitting supervisor of flying in the military and we take a noise complaint from a the same lady who calls with ridiculous claims all the time.

You could ask him for one. Right after looking up pragmatic in the dictionary.

Would be nice - but not allowed.
Blame the lawyers - but every complaint must be investigated.
If you don't like it - vote in politicians who will change the law - but until then - have sympathy for the ASIs who have to waste their time investigating such things.

Ya, I figured as much...and I do feel for them at times. I have quite a few buddies who ended up ASIs and I can sense their frustration at times with BS stuff like this. ...I talked to/"counseled" the guy, watched his video and it's the claim is ridiculous. Case closed. If only they could charge the claimant the man-hours wasted on this. If only...

To be fair, they offer much needed comic relief at times, investigating chem-trails, low-flying airplanes at 15,000', airplanes coming in low for landing...

Sad part is the student pilot has already perfected management mentality that someone is going to be working under in the future.
