...and within gliding distance of a landing site.

Which regulation are you quoting here?

http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text...1.3.10&idno=14
CFE Title 14: Aeronautics and Space
PART 91-GENERAL OPERATING AND FLIGHT RULES
§ 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.

Your entire quote was: "Human piloted aircraft must remain 1,000' feet above
congested areas, and within gliding distance of a landing site."

Your justification for that was a description of minimum altitudes, not a
restriction to be withing gliding distance of a landing site.


Well, when I fly low over Los Angeles, I take gliding distance into
consideration, but you've managed to find a nit. If that is the only
one you found, is it safe to assume you agreed with the remainder of
my follow up article?

Is there another reg stipulating such a restriction?

I'm not sure.
