Yesterday, we had a helicopter flying dangerously low (maybe 200-250 feet)
over our house. I looked at the FAA site to determine the correct place to
report it, but after going thru the phone maze - I ended up with a
recording. Do you folks know the correct snailmail address to report
dangerous flying aircraft?
Why do you think this is dangerous?
Helicopters operate under different rules than airplanes.
My understanding is that while an airplane must remain "1000 above the
highest object within 2000" horizontal distance, a helicopter must
merely not impose an "undue" hazard to people or property on the
ground. If the helicopter pilot has a safe place to land picked out
that does not create an "undue" hazard, 200 feet is not unreasonable.
While you might object to the noise, I think it is incorrect to
"assume" this is a "dangerous flying aircraft".
