First, the FAA does not ban flights above 400′. It’s is actually a voluntary height limit that pilots are requested to stick to.
Second, the NY pilots were harassed by the NYPD helicopter. It was never flown close to the chopper. In fact, ATC tapes proved that the helicopter pilot saw the Phantom, and then purposely flew towards it, thus making it a technical close call.
There enough false information being put forward by media types who are ignorant of laws and drones in general. UAS Vision should know better.
Two fallacies in this art lie jump straight out.
