Official statutory text
2-03-04. Lawfulness of flight and landing
Flight in aircraft over the lands and waters of this state is lawful, unless at such a low
altitude as to interfere with the then existing use to which the land or water, or the space over
the land or water is put by the owner, or unless so conducted as to be imminently dangerous to
persons or property lawfully on the land or water beneath. The landing of an aircraft on the
lands or waters of another, without the owner's consent, is unlawful except in the case of a
forced landing. For damages caused by a forced landing, however, the owner or lessee of the
aircraft or the airman is liable, as provided in section 2-03-05.
