Before ratting anyone out, do you know what the limits are?

Free airshow with cheap food and drinks and find something to complain about.

Quoted:
About a half an hour ago, a very loud fast plane buzzed by house. I went outside and I could hear him circling around. Out of the south I saw him cornering hard and in a dive. He leveled out and passed overhead so low and fast he shook my windows. If he was going slower I could have easily read the numbers on the side of the plane. I don't know what model of plane it was. It was a low wing single engine with retractable landing gear, painted blue on the bottom and white on top. Went and got my camera to see if I could catch him a third time, but he never came back. If I were able to get pictures and his number on the side, do you think I should rat him out to the FAA, or not. Poll coming. I see you have found your quest. So, what is your favorite color? |

Highly suspect its approved airshow maneuvers that would have the FAA's permission. But if it scratches your hall monitor itch then by all means call.

And this is why you only buzz a place once or twice, never three times.

Interestingly enough, the same thing happened about 15 years ago when I lived in a different part of the country which lead to the creation of CoC #5. I posted pictures of the plane and people ran his number through the FAA. Within a short amount of time people were posting his name, home address, place of employment and actual pictures of him. IIRC, he was a teacher at a local school and one of the members here was a former student. I sent him a link to the thread on this site and asked him if it was such a good idea to fly so low. SHAZAM! CoC # 5 was born.

Would you want someone to rat you out if you were flying low to find your missing daughter? The point is you don't know why the pilot was flying in that manner in that space. Let it go.

I was going to say sorry for buzzing you house, see my pilot buddy/family member/own house was in the flight path that took me over your house but then I realized it wasn't me this time because I only do one pass and haul ass in case some douche wants to report me for NOT breaking the FAR's, my house gets buzzed about every other day by one friend or another, occasional A-10's and Chinooks as well. I love it, its the flying equivalent of driving by and honking the horn at a friends house

Funny because my last house was under a DFW approach. The one before that was out in the boonies, but DIRECTLY under an MTR. We had Sabreliners, T-45s and T-38s flying over at very low altitude ALL the time

Try having a couple of A-10 do a simulated strafing/bomb run on you while working out in a large field.
They did it quite often when I was doing custom ag application . Kinda gives you the willies, I didn't care it was impressive. I'd wave, most of the time they'd wave back, when they peeled off in a 90* bank turn.. Have a buddy who owns a large quarry/gravel plant at The Lake of the Ozarks, they would come in low over the lake and do the same on his place. He didn't care, but the uppity neighbors complained enough they got it stopped.

Federal Aviation Regulations
Part 91.119 - Minimum safe altitudes: General. (a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. (b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft. (c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. So the question is do you live in town or in the country. If in town they should have been at least 1000 high. If in the country there is NO height requirement. They can fly at 10 feet as long as they stay 500 feet from people or buildings. As for reporting them, You can call the FAA or the local Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO) or you can stand in your yard and shake your fist at them as the fly over. Both will have the same results. |

No need to involve the feds, they'll just put a tracking chip in your head, right behind the ear most likely.
If they haven't already. Next time, get out in the yard, blade at whatever degree seems prudent, rack your 12 ga. He'll not be back after that manly display. |

Every great once in a while a fast mover or two will streak through, no regular traffic like a I used to get at another location, they used bank over my house just west of Quantico, 25 years ago, so low I could see the pilot's face mask and make our panels and fasteners and such on the aircraft, they always created a sonic boom, every time. Upon thinking about it, when I used to live in Waco, Texas, out along the Brazos river, I used stand in the yard every morning so I could wave at the few jets that flew straight over the house low and fast as hell. They usually waved backed.
