[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 101264, member: 18605"] Good read on the subject, Spark 317. FAA regs have typical quasi-nebulous verbiage such as "congested area" as part of the requirement to stay at least 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2,000-foot radius of your airplane's position. In non-[B]congested areas[/B], you must stay 500 feet above the surface. Helicopters are required to stay at least 500 feet above the surface. It's more detailed than that, but that's the gist of it. Basically, they've provided a 100 ft. buffer between the lowest normal operating altitude and airspace for drone operation. These are minimum VFR altitudes. [/QUOTE]
