D. It seriously ****es off many around it who are either disturbed by noise on takeoffs & landings (usually 1 each perday), have their houses and or land w sheep cows etc overflown at treetop height on ascents/descents.

Are they stuck with it? Seems harsh that one posh kid can annoy so many without a word?

If the helicopter passes over houses, people, vessels or vehicles
(animals don't count), is less than 500 feet from them (in any
direction) and doing so is not strictly necessary as part of a normal
taking off or landing, the pilot may be in breach of Rule 5 of the Rules
of the Air. A complaint to the CAA will result in an investigation and,
if upheld, a quite serious fine for the pilot.

The CAA do not accept complaints from single households.

I imagine the AAIB do.
