Default Flying from your own property?

The general rule of thumb is that casual use of private land for
takeoffs and landings is unregulated. I have heard casual use as meaning
10-15 landings a year. I have heard that casual use is a good way to
begin operations. At the very least, it flushes out unexpected
snags.
