Pre-takeoff checklist
Is it possible to get a waiver to allow flying below 500 ft over a non congested area for a one time event? If so, how would I do that and how much of a hassle would it be?

more information needed
Where are you saying "non congested area" and what "event"?
There is nothing that says you can't fly below 500ft AGL, it says you have to stay 500ft away from people and stuff (91.119(c)) and always in a position to make a safe landing if a problem develops (91.119(a))
PART 137—AGRICULTURAL AIRCRAFT OPERATIONSOk.. 91.119(c) refers to "sparsly populated", we have a lot of that around here.
I don't think crop dusters every get ABOVE 500ft AGL.
Having now read through the requirements of the waiver process, it might just be easier to make sure no people/property are within 500' of the flight path.
Just what is it you're trying to do? And where are you trying to do it? Some of us may be able to provide more helpful advice if we had a better idea of what this is all about.
Seeing how S. is from central Iowa my guess is it will take him all day just to find a person or structure to come within 500 feet of .
Funny, yes, but some of the largest towers in the midwest are in Iowa.
Well, I do have some experience on that, having been involved in AYA's annual Flour Bomb competition for the last 15 years or so, as (at various times) competitor, event coordinator, and safety director.Sorry, I didn't post what I was doing because I wanted comments on the regulation part and not the activity. We're trying to do some form of bomb drop - not with real bombs of course. We're looking to do it around 400`. We have access to private land that would be suitable for a target area and also provide a safe place to land if there were any issues.
