Never done any ag work, but is it neccessary to fly at 5 feet... if that...?
Surely you're really looking for
and surely the spray gets pushed down far enough by the rotors for one to have a few more feet safety margin? I've done survey at 75-100 ft and that was finger out of ass flying in case of engine out.

5' was pretty typical when I was doing it, even lower if there was much wind. On a dead calm day maybe up to 10'.

Phoinix, he was either spraying or lining up to spray when travelling under the wires: you can see the spray from the boom in one of the helmet cam shots toward the end. Why do you find it necessary to try to denigrate a pilot's ability to carry out his job?
