500 feet is rural areas. You can be cleared to fly below that if you obtain permission from the FAA or have mechanical troubles/weather conditions that force you below that altitude for safety reasons. I won't make a guess at how high the dude actually was, because people often give over exaggarate accounts of what actually took place and have a hard time with what altitude really looks like... |

FAA in Atlanta just called me; guy was really cool. He called me to get an understanding of what happenned.
He's going to be calling the guy today and asking him about the incident and will basically tell him to knock it off. I told him that in the least, I just wanted it on record, in case he ever does it again. He expects the guy will deny it, of course, but he told me bluntly "I will make his life a living Hell" if this ever happens again. |

So planes flying low crash harder and more dangerously than planes flying high?
