The NTSB review specifically found that taking off or
landing does not legalize flight under a bridge.

So when is it legal to fly under a bridge?

It is never legal, as far as I know. If you believe Robert's post, it may
be legal in a specific FSDO district if the bridge is high enough. But I'm
skeptical of how likely that really is, as a general guideline.


Implicit in this warning is the possibility of helos flying under the
Vincent Thomas Bridge in Los Angeles Harbor:

Helicopter Pilots Stay out from under the Bridge!

Helicopter pilots are cautioned to stay out from under the Vincent
Thomas Bridge. New construction on the bridge requires cables that
hang down to the water. These cables move from time to time and
can be difficult to see.
