[QUOTE="rtvman, post: 96543, member: 18442"] New to the forum as a recreational flyer. The new LAANC system has me a bit confused based on my home location. On maps in both Airmap and KittyHawk, I am outside the 5 mile radius of the Purdue Univ Airport in West Lafayette, IN. In KittyHawk, when I request authorization it shows my map position and at the bottom of the screen a green oval with a 2 in it. Clicking on that brings up Class D 0.95 mi and Class E2 0.95 mi. I am not given an option to request authorization. Does this mean I simply follow the safe flying rules, etc... below 400 ft? Airmap does let me request an authorization, but comes back with No airspace authorization is available, with links to Rules you should review and Rules you are following. When I am WITHIN the 5 mile radius of the Purdue airport, both apps let me request authorization and I do get an authorization via text. My question- am I OK to fly at my home outside of the 5 mile radius? I guess both apps give me what I think are fairly ambiguous answers. Thanks. rtvman [/QUOTE]
