Narrative:
Normal descent started at about 14500 ft. Descent consists of spiraling descent to the left and alternating to the right. In the descent we hold 45-55 degree bank. I found out on aug/fri/00, a complaint had been filed with the FAA. The complaint was that I was doing aerobatics and loops in the aircraft. At no time did I do any aerobatics. At all times, I followed our normal descent for skydiving operations and part 91 regulations.
