So I believe I have a rather unique situation. I just recently moved to a new address in the last couple weeks. I am a hobby flyer, not 107. If you look at B4UFLY or Hover, my new address (down to its most zoomed in level) is approximately 150 ft inside the 5 mile radius of a small executive airport. I used Google earths measuring tool to determine the distance. Due to how the property is situated (facing out of the cone), and the direction I fly (except for take off and landing) the drone is out of the cone during 85% of my flying time. To date I have not contacted the airport. I have also been visited by the local sheriff department out of curiousity seeing my drone flying with no issue. I specifically asked the deputy, who went on his cruiser computer to check, if there was an issue where I was flying. He said not that he could see. So I am wondering, given these facts, would you notify the airport each time you flew? Not looking for flame responses, just curious what other experienced flyers would do? Perhaps I could contact the airport and explain my situation and ask them if they want me to notify them of each and every flight? I fly almost daily and I think they are going to get sick of me contacting them.
. Thanks for any thoughtful insights you might provide.
