5 mile rule for class G airports?

[JAW]

Does the 5 mile rule apply to airports located in class G airspace?

as a hobbyist, i am clear to fly in class g airspace without authorization even if there is a tiny airport less an 5 miles away as long as i fly with caution.

That was quick! Thank you.

Ken is correct; caution includes staying clear of the airport as approaching and departing planes can easily be flying in your 400’ airspace or just 100’ above it.

Minimum altitudes for manned craft

Are there rules or laws regarding minimum altitudes for manned aircraft. I was flying about 1.5 miles away from an active class G airport. I was at 400 feet in vlos and heard a plane loud . I quickly came down to 200 feet and a low flying piper cub came over most likely in route to the air...

There’s no 5 mile rule

I should have known that under the new rules, thanks.
