Default commercial low-flight safety

Usually 1500 feet or more AGL is required...


I thought that the only agency that congress delegated regulation of the
U.S. national airspace was the FAA. That is, if there is a specific
prohibition of the nature you state, it will be in an FAA NOTAM or
otherwise noted on FAA official charts or in regulations. I don't recall
anywhere in any of the training material that I have that a pilot is
expected to check for NOTAMs from the DNR, or NOTAMs for the IRS, or ...
well, you get the idea I hope.

I may indeed be wrong, but if so I'd appreciate some cites.

Maybe bird guys are differnt.


I've not hunted deer before but I'd guess you sit still, eye your
target and take your shot when it feels right. When my son was taking
his bird hunting class (using clays) they start with their back to the
clay launcher. When the clay flys you have to spin around raise your
shot gun, aim, then fire before the clay is too far gone. Safey is
important and injuries should not happen but I think many hunters
thought "but for Providence, that could have been me". Its like the
guy who loses his engine on short final. You can blame him for not
being high enough, etc but in your gut you're just glad it isn't you.
