Today, N760BW, associated with BSU flight training operations, flew as low as 800 feet above shops and businesses on Westport’s Main Road. That’s well below what the FAA considers safe when flying over populated areas.

Why This Matters:
- Public safety risk: At 800 feet AGL, there’s little room to react if something goes wrong.
- Main Road, lined with businesses and pedestrian activity, clearly falls under “populated areas,” triggering the stricter 1,000-foot rule.
- Community impact: Low flights over a busy commercial district can disrupt local business, stress residents, and erode quality of life.
- Pattern of concern: Another incident in a growing pattern of low-altitude flights across Dartmouth and Westport.
