Raphael Pirker and the Federal Aviation Administration agreed to settle the 2013 case in which the FAA proposed to assess a $10,000 civil penalty to Pirker for operating a remotely piloted aircraft in a careless or reckless manner over the University of Virginia campus.
Pirker agreed to pay the FAA $1,100 to avoid the expense of litigation.
According to the settlement agreement, “Neither respondent’s execution of this settlement nor payment of the settlement proceeds constitutes respondent’s admission of any of the facts or regulatory violations alleged in the FAA’s June 27, 2013, order of assessment or the amended order of assessment.”
