I may have all of you beat...I've flown, repeatedly, in fog with 50' of visibility, about 10' above the trees and 5' or less above the ground. No IFR ticket, either. You crazy ultralight flyers! ;-) |

Duncan (NZ) wrote: In article , says... What regulations determine the absolute lowest altitude you can fly above the ground in the U.S.? I understand that the area just above the ground is usually Class G outside airports, and it only goes up to 700 or 1200 feet most of the time ... which implies that you can actually fly at 500 feet AGL if you want. But is there some other regulation that prohibits aircraft from flying this low, in general or in certain conditions/areas? Well... in New Zealand it's 500' - unless you're in an approved low level (training) area, in which case it's as low a your intructor dares. Over populated areas it's 1,000' All AGL. Yup. Microlites are frowned upon flying over cities in NZ You -can- go lower to keep the cloud seperation numbers the way CAA like them AFAIR |
