Devil 49,

It's an issue in UK (the poster is from UK, so am I) because of our legal rules. Pilots do get prosecuted here because they break the "500 foot rule".

Obviously, a pilot is exempt from the rule during takeoff and landing, so obviously we too fly below 500 feet at least twice on each flight.
