[QUOTE="beachcombing, post: 39588, member: 236"] Note, that if you are flying for hobby/recreation, then the "inverted wedding cake" doesn't apply to you. If you are within 5 miles of [B]any [/B]airport (not just controlled ones), you must notify the airport or tower. If you are beyond 5 miles, then you would be fine.But as noted above, you must ALWAYS see and avoid all manned air traffic (even if they are not following the rules). If you are in Class B airspace, then you must receive authorization from the tower.

At your location, the Class B shelf for Newark appears to start above 500 feet MSL at your location. So be aware of that. The shelf between that and Morristown's Class D airspace (which starts at the surface) starts at 1800 feet MSL. I don't see any shelves that start at 4000 feet.
