[QUOTE="Jeplane, post: 48281, member: 5"] It is an interesting argument. And 1/4 mile is awfully close. But if you must fly so close to an airport, then a few questions comes to mind. Like how high do you intend to go? If it is just your roof top, who cares. But if it is higher than 100 feet let’s say, it is a concern. Is the airport towered? If it is, it means that there is enough traffic to warrant one, which would be another no-no to fly so close to it. If it doesn’t, how much traffic are there? What kind of airport is it? Helicopters? They obviously fly the lowest. Are you oriented wih the runways or on the side? If you are aligned with it, 1/4 mile is once again too close for comfort, if you are going up higher than the rooftops... So as we can see, in DJI shoes, it is just easier to shut the darn thing down, as few of us have the aeronautical knowledge to fly a drone safely in some airspace. I don’t blame them, although it is a bummer that it seems that we are getting less and less airspace to fly into theses days... [/QUOTE]
