An older gentleman I've gotten acquainted with has generously offered me the use of his 150, for only the cost of fuel. About 2 weeks ago, on the spur of the moment, I decided to take it up for a warm-up session in preparation for an upcoming YE event.
Earlier that day, a takeoff had gone very badly, wrecking an airplane at that airport (thankfully, both on board survived, albeit with non-life-threatening injuries). I paid little attention to it (as by then all the people, emergency vehicles, etc. had cleared the area) and flew a short local flight, returning as planned.
A few days ago, I learned (from the owner) that there had been a NOTAM closing the sole runway during that afternoon and evening. Thanks to ADS-B (?) , the flight was tracked to the particular aircraft, and the owner.
Obviously, I failed to do a brief of the flight (otherwise, FF would have provided a notification).
2 questions:
a) Should I expect the FAA to come after me?
b) What do you recommend as a good android phone app for NOTAMs (not necessarily a free one)?
You may have missed "...there had been a NOTAM closing the sole runway..."
