This regulation is so vaguely written by the FAA as to being meaningless. Speaking from experience operation a restricted category aircraft ( duster), we run into these three “restrictions� all the time. One fsdo’s definition of densely populated is not the same as anothers.. Same goes for a busy airway. As for pasenger carrying airport, every airport that has a guy giving his neighbor a ride, is a passenger carrying airport. These so called restrictions were designed to be vague for the specific purpose of giving the feds legal latitude in case of an incident.

I can tell you practically speaking they are ignored.

Oh, the old 91.1?? I have to laugh when you speak about that FAR! I have landed a Pawnee in many airports. talked to many control towers and not one time did anyone say that you cannot land here. Also have flown over many congested areas, Oklahoma City, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, WPB, Orl, They never told me to stay away.

Yeh Bob, we ferry in and out of major air centers all year long, go to airshows, do spray demonstrations etc. Never ever been questioned. I have even been ramp checked and the issue of being restricted, experimental, or standard has never come up. My advice? Quit looking for reds under beds, dont make trouble for yourselves by opening up cans of worms. Leave your classification as is.

So much for the density population theory. Here in Florida during the hot muggy wet summers it is not unusual to see the Air Tractor 502 or a DC-3 blanket spraying for mosquitoes. The air Tractors do dawn and dusk applications and the DC-3 does large area spraying, and yes over dense population areas.
