--> Aerobatic-List message posted by: Tedd McHenry <tedd@vansairforce.org>
I live near the Canada/U.S. border. A relative on the U.S. side has a house on
the shore near a practice area I use for formation training. I'd like to swing
by his house in formation some time, but I'm unsure about the relevant U.S.
regulations.
My reading of FAR Part 91 indicates that I can perform non-aerbatic formation
flight over water at a minimum altitude of 500 feet and a minimum of 500 feet
from shore. This is less than the Canadian regulations (CARs) require, by my
reading. (In Canada it would be 500 ASL and 2,000 feet from shore.) Since
Canadian and U.S. regs are usually comparable on these matters, I suspect I may
have missed something in the FARs. Can any U.S. pilots advise me?
(This is Class G airspace.)
