"bush flying" in the suburbs?
Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801
lately, which attracted my attention purely as an inexpensive and eaily built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing about all the convenient places I could land with a STOL bush plane. Somebody give me a reality check -- even in relatively densely populated suburbs, there are a number of large open fields suitable for a bush plane. As it happens there is one such within walking distance of my parents' house in the northern D.C. suburbs, and there are other flattish largish open spaces near other places I visit. Has anybody on these newsgroups had any luck convincing random private landowners to let them land on their unimproved property? Anybody even tried? Are there likely to be local ordinances prohibiting intentional off-airport landings in the suburbs? Lets just leave aside for the moment the pesky little question of whether I'm qualified for this kind of adventuring... |
