Hi Lowell,



I just got back from a 7.5  hour  X country -  2 grass strips,  2  paved 

runways and about a dozen different lakes and rivers since yesterday AM 

.Never over 3500 agl and flew 300 agl to 1500 agl for most of it .  Had to 

cross about 40 miles of open water but stayed within few miles of shore. 

Just because you are on floats does not mean it going  be fun in 6 foot 

waves.



Regs do read 500 above highest obstacle and 1000 or 2000 feet vertically 

from them.



Dave

That only applies over congested areas of cities, towns, settlements, 

or an open air assembly of people:



Sec. 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate 

an aircraft below the following altitudes:

(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an 

emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the 

surface.

(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or 

settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 

1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 

2,000 feet of the aircraft.

(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above 

the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In 

those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to 

any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

(d) Helicopters. Helicopters may be operated at less than the 

minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section if the 

operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the 

surface. In addition, each person operating a helicopter shall comply 

with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters 

by the Administrator.

Thanks Michael,



I knew it was in there somewhere.  Sometimes I just don't have the energy to 

search it out.  This was a must read, some time back. so as to avoid 

illegalities when flying the Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and Idaho countryside.



Here in No. Cal. there is the story of a guy that took and published some 

pictures of the new Carquinez suspension bridge on the internet and the FAA 

determined that his pictures couldn't have been taken with legal clearance 

and his license was suspended for a time.  I don't know if this story is of 

the urban legend variety or true, but it gives pause when taking photos and 

videos from the air.

Dave,



Thanks for the clarification.  Have to be careful when visiting Canada.  I 

understand one of our guys has family or friends North East of Porthill, ID 

and we are planning on visiting this summer.

The Canadian rules are essentially the same as in the U.S., Dave.  You quoted:



 	  Quote: 	
		  (a) over a built-up area or over an open-air assembly of persons...



(b) in circumstances other than those referred to in paragraph (a), 

at a distance less than 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle or 

structure.


	


When you are not over a "built-up area" you can fly 2 feet off the 

ground as long as that leaves you 500 feet from any person, vessel, 

vehicle or structure and you could safely land from there.
