91.119 Except for TO & landing, 1000' over congested areas or within 500'
of person, vessel, vehicle or structure if in sparse area or over open water. "JJ Sinclair" wrote in message ... Isn't there an FAR that says aviators will not fly below 500 feet, if over people, places or things, unless they are in the act of landing? This question was asked by a pilots wife/crew at a nationals. Her motorhome was located on a permanently closed runway about 500 feet from the active runway. The finish line was over the closed runway. I didn't have an answer for her, do you? JJ Sinclair |

In the airport environment, I believe a low pass is akin to a go-around or
an aborted landing attempt. How could it reasonably be considered a violation of 91.119? When flying an instrument approach and breaking out, it is also common for aircraft to "circle to land" at a runway other than that flown on the approach. This circling is often lower to the ground than 500 feet. I have asked for and received clearance from the tower at Napa, CA, for low passes in both power and glider. Approval for overhead break approaches, etc are also routinely given. -- bumper "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink." to reply, the last half is right to left "Vaughn Simon" wrote in message ... 91.119 Except for TO & landing, 1000' over congested areas or within 500' of person, vessel, vehicle or structure if in sparse area or over open water.

Let's face it: Coming in on final at 150 mph+ because you "forgot" to pull the airbrake lever is very hard to disguise as a go-around... ![]() Bye Andreas |

See the helicopter example in my other message. Also, I recall seeing at the same airport (Wellington Intl, NZ) an RAAF tanker (707 or 767 or something) execute a missed approach to maybe two hundred feet ft with three or four A4 SkyHawk and F/A-18 Hornet jets hanging off hoses from the wings and another couple in formation beside the wingtips. No way did *they* ever have an intention to actually land there. -- Bruce |
