[QUOTE="BigAl07, post: 72736, member: 13808"] [B]a)[/B] You're obligated to try and notify Hicks Airfield, both heliports, and I'd go as far to say Alliance because it's very possible if you're close enough you could be flying within the 5 mile distance. It all depends on how far towards that airport you fly. If it's even remotely possible you could be within 5 miles you need to cover your bases and notify.
