Still stuck at 400ft AGL despite legal rulings that private property extends upwards of 500 feet.
- romwell 9y agoHow far does it currently extend? Do you know what their basis was for 400ft ceiling was?
- cylinder714 9y agoI recall that the lower limit for airplanes is 500 feet above ground level, so that makes for 100 feet of vertical separation.
- groundeffect 9y agoDon't know where you got this impression, but no it doesn't. At least in relation to aviation regulations anyway. The FAA has the authority to regulate flight from the surface.
- lightedman 9y agoGuidelines established in AC 91-57. These set initial guidelines due to manned aircraft being restricted to 500 feet AGL. You aren't reliably telling 500 feet straight up, so a good 100 feet of leeway/buffer zone is helpful. On top of that, AMA has a 3 mile (for airports)/400' safety recommendation.
