I'm reviewing my state's laws again (Tennessee)

Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-14-405
Criminal Trespass

(d)
For purposes of this section, “enter” means intrusion of the entire body or when a person causes an unmanned aircraft to enter that portion of the airspace above the owner's land not regulated as navigable airspace by the federal aviation administration.

Where exactly is that? What's the FAA regulation I can cite for that?

edit to add underlining

That would be whatever the TN authorities deem it to be while they are investigating you. It will be the perfect time for them to bring up something about chickens when they go to arrest you.
 
Yeah,
I'm familiar with aerial curtilage, but the concept of a 'taking' is new to me.

Apparently, there is civil case law on the idea of nuisance aircraft related to fields, I guess that's where that piece of legislation originated.

I haven't heard of non-navigable airspace, either, and my google-fu isn't helping.
