February 16, 20187 yr So not near an airport...at 50’. I’m going to call shenanigans. I considered right of way rules, but since a helicopter can hover, I guess it could go either way?
February 16, 20187 yr There is no minimum altitude for helicopters outside of the required lateral distance from dwellings and people. We fly at 50 feet regularly.

Personally, I tend to favor 100ft for low-level so I have a little more reaction time for EPs and am less likely to wire-strike an uncharted line. (Lots of 30-50ft lines out there.)
