It is correct, you can even land there if you must and you're allowed to retrieve it. I've had to explain this to a farmer once while recovering a hot air balloon at gunpoint.

The emergency landing is one thing but just flying directly over private property (as in living areas and industrial complexes) is just crazy to me, agricultural areas are a different thing threre is nothing privat happening there and there are no possible industrial problems (security, safety...)

There is so little unoccupied or public land in places where people want to live. It would be impossible if that was the rule.

I said agricultural areas are fine cause nothing is happening there, Forrest as well and yes thats basically how it is in Germany.

Forests don't need deliveries. And good luck flying planes anywhere over just forests.

There's a reason the FAA has the regulations it has.
