(That means the aircraft is flying at or above the minimum allowable height – see previous section 'Low flying').
Sometimes people complain about noise produced by an aircraft, but the flight is, in fact, legal. In that case, go to report an aviation related concern. If you think the aircraft is noisy because it’s flying too low, it may be breaking civil aviation rules. Some people contact us to complain about noise from aircraft. Note that although rescue and police operations are sometimes carried out in specially marked helicopters, they can be carried out in any aircraft. There are exceptions, such as aircraft flying within a low flying training area, in agricultural aircraft operations, during emergencies, and when the genuine purpose of the flight requires the aircraft to be flown at a lower height – such as during a police operation. The minimum height over any other area is 500 feet. Rule 91.311 Minimum heights for VFR flights Generally, 1000 ft is the height at which aircraft are flown within the circuit of an aerodrome. Briefly stated, the minimum height an aircraft is allowed to fly over a city, town, or settlement, is 1000 feet above the highest obstacle, except when taking off or landing. The minimum acceptable heights for flying are laid out in a group of rules called ‘Part 91’. Report an aviation safety concern online orĬall: 0508 4SAFETY (0508 472 338) during office hours.
