Part 103 vehicles can't be operated over congested areas. FAA considers anything more than sparsely populated as congested. A single church in the middle of nowhere might be sparsely populated. I'm not even sure you can take off or land in your own neighborhood. Is a neighborhood a settlement? shrug https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/section-103.15 See Simmons (2010 legal interpretation from the FAA chief legal counsel.
https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/FAA000000000L... --- Also, no operations in common types of airspace: no bravo, charlie, or delta (or class e surface area). This may not be difficult seeing as they tend to exist over congested areas which must be avoided anyway. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/section-103.17 --- Part 103 ultralights are vehicles, not aircraft, therefore not general aviation. Therefore, I'm not sure who will insure these operations. It may be the realm of self-insured. |
