Anyone know the rules (and please link from a reputable site to confirm) regarding flight around government infrastructure?
During my multiple talks with the local airport's manager today, he said most of the town I operate in is government infrastructure and cannot be flown near - specifically the Army Corps of Engineers channel/waterway opening into Lake Michigan, the Coast Guard Station, the County Jail, etc.
His feedback was also the only official definition of "near" he had seen was "near-miss" which was "1 mi or 1,000 feet" I'm guessing 1,000 feet altitude and 1 mi for manned aircraft at altitude?
