Have you ever found the FAA's definition of a "congested area?" I've
never seen it.

It's depicted in yellow on charts.

Well.. around here.. the city is growing so fast.. the "yellow on the
charts" is only for the area for about 10 years ago..

Yes? Where is that stated?

One bit of puzzlement I've always had was whether the flight down the Hudson
past Manhatten was considered over a congested area. It's not yellow, and
it's obviously over water. But with Jersey City on one side and Manhatten
on the other...?

Clearly the FAA doesn't consider the Hudson congested (despite Manhattan's
proximity), since they carved out an exclusion from the Class B to allow
pilots to fly up and down the river in Class E, even though there's no way
to stay 1000' above the GWB in the Class E. (Even the obligatory 500'
distance requires maneuvering to avoid passing directly over the bridge's
support towers.)

No it's not. The yellow is what the town would look like at night,
lighted.

Now one could logically deduce that where there were more lights,
that's a more heavily populated area than where there are less,
or no lights. But using logic while arguing with the FAA doesn't
work very well

The yellow section on charts is the area that's lit up at night. Basically, it's an
area in which every street has street lights.
