I see a lot of posts from people trying to figure out where to fly. More specifically local parks, metro parks, state parks, and generally any private property. (Note : there is a misconception that parks are public property. I believe this is not true, they are owned and operated by a town, city, organization, or state, or federal govt.)
There is a section in the FAA rules for hobby/recreational flying. I'm referring to Part 2(see below)
My understanding is that Part 2 refers to community laws. And Private property restrictions. For instance a metro park set of guidelines.
In regards to the nationwide community based organization, I believe this refers to the AMA guidelines for model aircraft which states they cannot be flown where prohibited.(not prohibited just by FAA guidelines but also by community laws and Private property restrictions) http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/105.pdf
I wonder if anyone cares to clarify and confirm my understanding that basically you are not just restricted by FAA guidelines of the airspace but also by community and private property guidelines. In otherworldly, for instance, if a local metro park has rules for no model aircraft flying. You are NOT allowed to fly their and cannot state that the FAA isn't restricting you.....
Furthermore.....however, could you fly over his airspace (the metro park) if you're not flying FROM their property?? I would assume......you could..??
Thanks for any clarification.
