sky_king Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 To be fair, it's meant to not imply federal endorsement of ALS charities. However, we're still doing Feds Feed Families and it's not CFC time.
HeloDude Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 But the Pentagon allows troops to march in non-military gay pride parades while in uniform. I guess it all depends on the cause...ALS is not progressive enough of a cause I suppose. 6
Smokin Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Its a good thing we don't have any troops in harms way right now so we can focus on stuff like this. 2

California, nuff' said. Oh and I love how their aviation 'expert' starts giving altitude restrictions...for fixed wing aircraft. This all being said, there's no reason not to fly friendly when you can.
backseatdriver Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 California, nuff' said. Oh and I love how their aviation 'expert' starts giving altitude restrictions...for fixed wing aircraft. Well he could have asked you for your restrictions but you would just "deny, deny, deny, deny!"
M2 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 California, nuff' said. No kidding, could that dude be a bigger pussy? He needs a couple A-10 runs directed towards him, then he'll really shit his diaper! 1
HeloDude Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Well he could have asked you for your restrictions but you would just "deny, deny, deny, deny!" I'm pretty sure I didn't get the exact joke/flavor of sarcasm--my bad, it's Friday, and I'm tired. My point was that if he is going to quote restrictions out of the FAR, then he should quote the one that applies to helicopters, not to fixed wing aircraft (which has nothing to do with the AF). But you're right, I wouldn't talk to either of them, that's what PA gets paid to do.
Breckey Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 14 CFR §91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: 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, powered parachutes, and weight-shift-control aircraft. If the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface— 1. A helicopter may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph B or C of this section, provided each person operating the helicopter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA As an aside, flying low over the Destin/Ft Walton beaches (especially in the Spring) would normally result in at least a few flashes instead of angry rhetoric. People in FL are just nicer I guess. 1
HossHarris Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Military flying is not a part 91 operation. Quoted reg doesn't apply. 1
Breckey Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 AFI11-202V3 5.14.4 - Pilots flying helicopters in FAA airspace may operate at lower altitudes and in closer proximity if they do not create a hazard to persons or property on the surface. Both the FAA and the USAF say we can pretty much do what we want within the restrictions of MDSv3 as long as we're safe about it.
