[QUOTE="pmshop, post: 53572, member: 3174"] Agreed you are informing them, not asking permission. And that is what the McCarran tower told me as a hobbyist in Las Vegas - Class B Airspace. "We cannot stop you as a hobbyist" Now, more information if you could...is it a hub for crop dusters because that could be a problem. Where is this town? Airport code?? Lets take a look at the layout. Also, did you look up the airport's county/ municipal website and find the name of the manager? Speak to them directly. Sounds like it could have been any old jerk to me. I have the same situation out here and the are much less strict out here. My first instructions were "do not call unless you are within a mile. A year later I checked up on those instructions and he told me he recovered a crashed drone on the taxiway. Now I had to let him know within 3 miles. And now after 3 years of notifying and working with them, I get to fly in our municipal park to capture the 4th of July Fireworks...0.2nautical miles from the airport! Just breathe, meet them in person and be the professional. [/QUOTE]
