This video is not intended in anyway to divert responsibility for my actions nor to call out my accuser. I have been purposefully vague to protect their identity. This video is meant to share what I learned through the experience and how I think I've become a better pilot because of it. Hopefully this will help others to become better and safer pilots without having to go through what I did.

TLDW:
Transport Canada (the agency that oversees aviation) launched an investigation which stemmed from a complaint of illegal lowlevel flying. The person who reported me sent them a link to my YouTube channel and so two enforcement officers spent hours watching each and every one of my videos. They only found one instance of questionable low level flying but it was from a video that had been edited. In a face to face meeting with me, I was able to explain that I was that low for the purpose of landing which means that I hadn't broken that law after all.

They did however note that I wasn't wearing a helmet when I was supposed to be. I explained that I had been made fun of for safety related things in the past by someone who I looked up to and was hesitant to be made fun of again and so I didn't wear one because this person didn't wear one either. They understood completely and since I had a good attitude, was able to admit that I was wrong, and was willing to wear one from now on, they closed the investigation with no further action against me.
