RE: :Rules broken"Oh please!!!!! Go try to start a fight somewhere else.
The 400 feet "rule" is AGL (above ground level) so if he followed the contour of the mountain he did not break any "rules". That being said, it does look like when he popped over the edge of the mountain it was probably higher than 400 feet....
My point being that if you hug the contour at 400 feet AGL no rules are broken.
These are also "rules" not laws, private pilots (and commercial) break the rules all the time, going below 500 feet AGL.... I was flying today and a helicopter flew within 1/4 mile of us and easily below 500 feet.
