how is 500ft AGL so low as to be below any limit? unless you are using the
"minimum altitude over dense metropolitan areas"

Who are you quoting when you write "minimum altitude over dense metropolitan
areas". The FARs refer to "congested area".

In any case, whatever you call it, I thought he was pretty obvious in his
post that he was referring to the "congested areas" clause in the FARs. I
don't see how you failed to pick up on that.

As far as whether to report the pilot to the FBO or anyone else goes, it's
hard to say without knowing more specifics. I'm generally in favor of
reporting dangerous pilots to the FSDO, but altitude can be difficult to
estimate, and it's not clear why the original poster is so sure of the
altitude, or if the pilot was otherwise behaving dangerously.

One had better be 100% sure of what they saw before they go around making
trouble for someone else.
