I couldn't agree more. I cruise as high as I can (no birds etc...), but a heli is more than cruising.

Ones in a while you may want to do some sight seeing, especially in mountainous/ unhabitated areas where you will be closer than 500. That should be OK provided you use some QASP like approach : recce - knowledge of environment, adapted speed, not pissing off terrestrians, etc.

For civis I would call that CSP : civil - slow - prepared
