Privacy rights in airspace above back yard
Planes form the local airport continually fly over our house, even though they are supposed to take off and land in a prescribed area not above our homes. These planes fly fairly low, and putting aside the fact that safety does not seem to be of concern to these pilots, where does the issue of privacy fit it. I cannot sit in my fenced back yard in my jacuzzi or even lay out in the sun without feeling that my privacy is violated. Is there some privacy right concerning how high an aircraft must be above residences?
