The FAA has defined “navigable airspace” here: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/pham_htm...

That cites another FAR, 91.119: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.119 which lays out the general rules for fixed wing traffic and some exceptions for helicopters.

Over most unpopulated areas, it’s 500’ from surface, structures, vehicles, or people, unless lower is needed for takeoff and landing.

Fly over the private land at 500’ until you reach public land, descend the helicopter, have a party on the public land and stick two fingers up at the arseholes trying to claim it for themselves by buying up the surrounding land and denying road access. Make sure you have a nice ex-military security team with you in case the arseholes decide to get pushy. Thank you for flying with FU Airlines.
