Default Flying over the runway is illegal?

come on out west.. I'll show you a municipal airport in a sparsely populated
area.. there are no homes within 7 miles, and only two hotels and a prison,
all more than 1000ft from the runway

That is 500' from persons or 'property'.


Unless you are flying over a sparsely populated area, it's *at least* 500'
AGL. I think it's safe to say that anywhere that there's a "municipal
airstrip", the FAA isn't going to consider "sparsely populated".
