FAA investigating Las Vegas Lights’ helicopter cash drop
Team got "52 seconds" on SportsCenter - something that really brings attention to the team. Team would like to do this again (next season).
“We met with three government officials this morning. They reiterated that we’re not under investigation, but they did have concerns with how the promotion is done,” Lashbrook said. “We talked through the safety precautions the pilot had asked us to take, and they wanted confirmation that we had done that.”
FAA regulations state that pilots must maintain minimum safe altitudes, with enough space to allow a safe emergency landing in the case of a power unit failure, without harm to people or property.
The regulations do not specify a minimum height for helicopters.
