war007afa Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breckey Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 There is no minimum altitude for helicopters outside of the required lateral distance from dwellings and people. We fly at 50 feet regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raimius Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, uhhello said: Define regularly Probably between 30 and 60% of scheduled lines, as a guesstimate. 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.)

Breckey Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It's also the standard deployed day-rage altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
