The managing director of a Manchester-based infosec firm has been fined for flying his helicopter into an air traffic control zone without permission, having first launched a rant at air traffic controller.

Joel Tobias, a helicopter owner and pilot who was described by the Manchester Evening News as a “wealthy businessman”, was fined £1,600 plus £870 in legal costs after his on-frequency rant at air traffic controller Andrea Tolley.
