[QUOTE="pmshop, post: 48380, member: 3174"] The deal is you notify the airport of your flight. As a hobbyist, you are not asking permission. Back in December when the McCarran Tower found out I was flying hobbyist he gave me the local FAA number, took my information down and told me "Sounds like you are asking permission. You do know you are informing us to let us know where your flight is - informational purposes? We cannot stop you as hobbyist." Double checked with the FAA and he was correct. You are just notifying the tower, not asking permission. Email is the best form to notify. Say like the towerless airport has no manager on the weekend and you are going to fly near, send that email and fly. They read it Monday, and you did not have an incident - all is well. If there was an incident, then they know why because of your notification. Make sure to include name/ registration, time of flight, estimated duration, max altitude expected, distance and direction from the airport. [/QUOTE]
