See, now that's the utter denial that really ****es me off.

Planes bust the 1000 ft minimum all the time near my NH house, which is 5
miles from the airport. Where I'm moving from, very close to Republic
airport on LI, no noise issue whatsoever (thats where I trained for a
time). It shows that the airport sponsor is primarily responsible for
community relations.

Pending court cases (and settled ones as well) will determine the extent
of community control. You like the FAA asleep at the switch attitude when
it benefits you (i.e. the FARs, no teeth in noise abatement), and hate them
when they want to impose user fees, or get pushed into endorsing the ADIZ.

Are you in a "congested area"? If not, the minimum is five hundred feet.

I know that, and yes, I am. It is not rural. In close proximity to Nashua
New Hampshire.

And, I'm pretty sure, the fAA has no definition of "rural." Maybe its up
to the pilots to define?

"Not congested" does not equate to "rural". In a rural area, one must
be five hundred feet away from structures and such, but any safe
altitude above the ground. In an area that's not rural but not
congested, five hundred feet above the ground.

The FAA definitions of "congested" and "rural" are top-secret, and
revealed on a need-to-know basis after the fact. But you knew this.

As a working definition I use the yellow areas of the sectional as
"congested", and any place that looks like is should be yellow. If I've
got plenty of places to put it down should the cooling fan quit, I don't
consider it congested. (It's about hazard, not noise).

Ha ha.

This is another ancient relic FAA regulation from a simpler, earlier time
when there were vast unpopulated areas of the country.

But you've answered my question. Its another rule which needs to be
changed to keep up with the times.

Stay at least 1000' above anyplace he is. And turn the engine off while you're
there.

It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Do you think that there are not vast unpopulated areas of the country now?

One would think the US has vast unpopulated areas, but take the redeye
from the West Coast and you will see lights most every where.

It matters not what the law is, when skylooneybird is speaking. He has
already admitted hacking into AOPA's web site. I repeat, the law does not
matter.

If airplanes are at legal altitude, and fly where *he* thinks they are too
loud, or too close, or too early, he is ****ed. They are flying legally. I
repeat, the law matters not, to skylooneybird.

Why doesn't somebody just step on him?
