Narrative:

I was giving instruction on ground reference maneuvers such as rectangular course, turns around a point and in-flight determination of wind. We were at 800 ft MSL or about 700 ft AGL. Our maneuvers were over open fields and apparently some lady called gnv FSS stating I was too low. Since I was teaching a cfia candidate, I guarantee you I was no lower than 650 ft AGL. Apparently we were too low for the lady and were causing a disturbance. Our maneuvers lasted in excess of 1.3 hours. Our duration in the location probably aided to her frustrations, wherever she was.

Title: ALLEGED LOW LEVEL CIVIL FLT.

Narrative: I WAS GIVING INSTRUCTION ON GND REF MANEUVERS SUCH AS RECTANGULAR COURSE, TURNS AROUND A POINT AND INFLT DETERMINATION OF WIND. WE WERE AT 800 FT MSL OR ABOUT 700 FT AGL. OUR MANEUVERS WERE OVER OPEN FIELDS AND APPARENTLY SOME LADY CALLED GNV FSS STATING I WAS TOO LOW. SINCE I WAS TEACHING A CFIA CANDIDATE, I GUARANTEE YOU I WAS NO LOWER THAN 650 FT AGL. APPARENTLY WE WERE TOO LOW FOR THE LADY AND WERE CAUSING A DISTURBANCE. OUR MANEUVERS LASTED IN EXCESS OF 1.3 HRS. OUR DURATION IN THE LOCATION PROBABLY AIDED TO HER FRUSTRATIONS, WHEREVER SHE WAS.
