"It is illegal to fly below 1,000 feet"
Where on earth did you read that? Yes, the rule is 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a radius of 2,000 feet when over a congested area, but when not flying over a city, minimum altitude is 500 feet.
- Someone1234 11y ago> Where on earth did you read that? Why did you ask me and then quote the exact regs back verbatim? Why ask a rhetorical question with the implication that I am wrong if your very next sentence is going to confirm that I am indeed correct? As you yourself said, 1000 feet is the minimum allowed in most normal situations. You can go fly over the desert at 500 feet if you wish, but drones won't be an issue out there.
- sokoloff 11y agoYou can fly over the desert at 1 inch if you want. FAR 91.119.c (subject to the catch-all exception in 91.13)
- protomyth 11y agoIf you are talking a rural environment then 500 ft isn't the minimum for crop dusters.
