Narrative:

Trying to land. I was flying low trying to make an approach with variable wind direction. It would change directions. It was necessary to stay low to hold wind direction. I then landed. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter believes in sending a report to the ASRS whenever she is forced to fly low over a city. She was flying in a rally with variable winds. There were no complaints and no action taken. The reporter flies an aerostar ax-7.
