I have been researching the laws and talking to directors of Maricopa County State Parks. What I am looking for is what law or laws there are about taking off from outside of the restricted area and flying over the parks. What specifically does "No flying within the park" mean? Taking off and landing? If I take off outside the boundry of a park, once airborn I am under FAA rule. If, while flying over the park, I break no park rules of noise, chasing wildlife etc and obey FAA rules, such as not flying over people, altitude restriction, etc, then why would I be afoul of the laws/policies/rules. I know the actual altitude is really controversial as far as trespass over private property is. I have seen 80 - 500 ft mentioned but nothing in black and white, so far.
Has anyone else seen, heard or read anything that would hold up in court. White Tank Mountain Park director just e-mailed me an nice response saying NO! I am looking for more info, advice and opinions on how to proceed.
