Thanks for all your sage advice, and to those that PM'ed me as well on this subject. I have no intention of going round and fighting the man, but it is useful to know in any thing what the boundaries are!
For my own education, can someone clarify the 500 foot rule. I know all about vehicle vessel and structure etc and that technicaly a fence or wall or roadway is a structure. I also know, as a f/w pilot that this is all ignored when lannding at a licenced airfield. Does this apply to Helicopters too? If a helicopter is not landing at a licenced facility, and ignoring maydays etc do they still have to obey the 500 rule on the way up and down?
I know too many stupid questions, but humour me it is christmas
