A video or social media post by itself cannot be used for an enforcement action. It can, however, be sufficient grounds to open an investigation. I'm sure the investigators will have _many_ questions for "our young misfit", and quite possibly for his CFI and DPE as well.

Well, dang. I've been out-pedanted. Anyway, I've fulfilled my purgatorial 5 posts; thank you all for assisting - ADSBx track of the purported heli recovery is here: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a3f18a&lat=35.668&lon=-120.637&zoom=11.2&showTrace=2021-12-10&timestamp=1639165209

I am fully in agreement - if NTSB released it back to "our young misfit" (lol), then he can do whatever the heck he wants with it. (hopefully the engine is still in good shape, but I'm guessing he may not have logbooks for it)

Huh, I have my 2014 FAR/AIM (used for my SPT, sorry I don't know where the more recent one that I used for my PPL is) cracked open to 830.10, and the header at the top of the left page says "Federal Aviation Regulations". You may want to alert ASA of that grevious oversight if it still exists...

"To protect against further damage" would be a stretch of stretches, agreed. Trevor claims "I notified the FAA and the NTSB immediately" in the title cards of his original video, but those have now been removed in his current redacted video that is also missing the sponsorship plug (apparently...

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! [raises hand] I know this one! 49 CFR § 830.10 - Preservation of aircraft wreckage, mail, cargo, and records. Unless, of course, the NTSB released custody of the wreckage back to the owner, in which case moving the wreckage would be allowed.

Well, then he gets to endure the consequences of violating yet another FAR by hiring a heli to extract the wreckage before it could be investigated. (I'd post the ADSBx track here, but as a new account (though lurker for years) I need a few more posts before I can do so - can be found in...

I wondered that as well, but then they'd have free reign to go after Trent Palmer and various other aviation YouTubers that don't have a commercial license for posting aviation content.
