Interestingly, I ran across an ultralight website where they described
the yellow outlines as being off-limits to them, because they're
obviously congested areas.

Obviosly congested? No... These are city/town areas, but they include
congested and non congested areas. The Ultralight club's rule is a good
rule of thumb, but it's not a FAR.

The thing about Ultralights is, they need to stay 'under the radar'
such that they don't raise a lot of complaints and invite extra
legislation prohibiting their use. So, rules like these keep them
well outside the 'problem areas'.

You can legally fly an ultralight through an area depicted in yellow
on the sectional, you just need to fly over only un-congested areas.


Best regards,
