A 24-year-old pilot who made a safe emergency landing in the water off the Rockaways last night was questioned by cops because he touched down without permission, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Need to be sure this spoiled brat never gets near an airplane again. Even if this "child" grows up at some point, if he lives that long, he still should never be licensed again. Immaturity and flippant behaviour have no place up there.

Hope he enjoys the view from the back from now on, and his lawyer fees.

Maloney's friend said, "He is really, really smart". Maybe when it comes to books, but obviously no common sense. I'm a 22 year old holder of a CPL and would never think of doing something like this, even at the age of 12. Just what we need, a stupid kid to tarnish GA and all pilots similar in age.
There was a blurb on the news, indicating the pilot was taken to the hospital today, for unknown reasons. Does anyone here suspect an attempted angling, for a 'extenuating medical circumstances' plea?
The whole back story on this is probably yet to become known. The ATC recording would indicate the PIC was not of his right mind for what reason it is unclear. That said it is remarkable no one was injured and the plane was landed relatively safely. Had the flight continued closer into the City and the PIC continued the highly unusual discourse with ATC...the outcome could have been much more unfortunate.
