Default USAF Loses UAV Over Populated Area In Training Exercise

"Andrew Sarangan" wrote in message


I would assume that they take every reasonable efforts to avoid
having to land in urban areas in case of engine trouble, just ilke GA
pilots are required to do.


Larry made a similar assertion a while back and was unable to demonstrate
such a requirement. Do you have a link to where this requirement for GA to
avoid landing in urban areas (or, as Larry put it, to be "within gliding
distance of a landing site") is specified?

I'll grant it makes sense for a pilot to avoid off-airport landings, but
that applies regardless of urban or rural.
