Can anyone tell me if there is a restriction concerning minimum altitude over populated areas for GA aircraft in Hungary, and what that number might be?
It's been a long time since I flew GA in the U.S., but I know there is this kind of restriction there, and it was at least 2000 feet, as I recall. I am now in Hungary, and have been surprised several times recently by aircraft flying as low as perhaps 200 feet over the village where I am living. The nearest airport is in Dunakeszi, which is perhaps 5 miles away, and so these low flights have nothing to do with approach.
