Ara Zobayan was counseled by an FAA investigator after he violated FAA rules by crossing into busy airspace near Los Angeles International Airport on May 11, 2015, according to an FAA record.
He was flying for the same company during the 2015 incident.
When air traffic control denied the request and told him to stay clear of the area, Zobayan replied that he could “maintain VFR” but during the conversation, the helicopter entered the airspace, according to the record. The report said Zobayan “admitted his error, took responsibility for his action, and was willing to take any other necessary steps toward compliance.”
