For those interested (I know I was) in whether a runway flyover (or

Oh yeah - the facts in this case make for a happy ending. :-)

The unhappy part is that the pilot probably had to foot a hefty bill
for all the court time and appeals. This is a good example of how the
FAA will back an inspector, even when the inspector is obviously in the
wrong.

Having to go to court to justify a go-around is not only ridiculous,
it flies (no pun intended) in the face of safe flying practices.
