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.

I have taken the red-eye many times, and lights are certainly not
"most everywhere"
