I think it's a no-brainer that people don't own the airspace above their property. Ban on flying over private property is absurd.


There's a big difference between flying 1000 ft above private property in a properly licensed aircraft and flying 50 ft above.

In populated areas I can legally at ~520' above ground level (500' minimum above structures in the vicinity, and most structures are 1 or 2 stories)

So a quiz: Cessna doing standard rate turns over your house at 500' above, or a drone passing over at 300'

Which would you prefer?


The odd private plane versus a continuous stream of drones? The odd private plane.


I'd take the Cessna every time.
