27th June: Dangerously low figure 8 over Mishaum Point

Today, a Cessna 172 N780SA — connected with BSU — was documented flying at a dangerously low altitude of only 600 feet above Mishaum Point. That’s well below the 1,000‑foot minimum required when flying over populated or developed areas – guess they didn’t see the houses there…

To add to the concern, the aircraft made several low passes over Round Hill Beach, a regularly crowded public area. This isn’t just unsettling—it’s against FAA safety rules.

Why this matters:

• FAA Regulation 14 CFR § 91.119(b) requires aircraft to maintain at least 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2,000-foot horizontal radius when flying over populated areas such as towns, beaches, or neighborhoods.
• Flying at 600 feet over Mishaum Point or buzzing Round Hill Beach is not only disruptive; it is a clear violation of federal safety standards.
