"The question becomes, how is “aircraft” defined in that title?"
The FAA regulations are actually pretty clear on this - If I have to put an ID tag on it to give it an FAA designation (and btw I do) then it's classified as aircraft.
IANAL - but contract law is not the same as Federal Law. Federal law can override contract law in certain situations. Generally, contract law is governed by state law, but if a contract violates federal law or a federal law specifically governs the subject matter of the contract, then federal law will take precedence. This is based on the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which establishes that federal law is the "supreme law of the land."
"What about common law or equitable law?"
Note I did NOT talk about what is legal for a drone *pilot* to do.. ONLY what is NOT legal for people who take issue with drones being flown to do. In the cases you mentioned, local, state and FAA regulations will apply. And drone pilots who are FAA certified if they violate those laws can have their licensing revoked (period determined by FAA) face civil penalties (to the tune of 10's thousands in USD) and risk civil litigation as well. You would have to check with your own municipality for the specifics.
