Just out of curiosity, did he violate any aviation regulations (except for the recklessness catch-all, if the landing was unsafe)? Obviously the altitude and obstacle-clearance regulations in 91.119 don't apply, since he was landing.

So if he were quick witted enough, he would have said, "Gee, that engine was running rough so I had to put it down..." While his son runs off to his appointment. Nice.
