Going to point this out to you because you are missing a big point here. From 91.119 we can actually fly as low as we like as long as A) we aren’t in a position that an engine failure would cause undue hazard to other (not in the airplane) persons or property on the ground and B) we are 500ft from any persons, vessel, vehicle, or structure . So over a lake or sparsely populated area as long as we maintain 500ft separation from something we can fly as low as we wish. the rest of what you said about the 500 and 1000ft rules is correct. If you’re going to post answers here and suggest someone contact the FAA the least you could do is actually include the whole regulation. 0 Comments Add a Comment
