[QUOTE="MrMcFly, post: 25630, member: 4835"] Any flight above the tree line, yes. If I'm using the Spark for a Selfie, for a close shot 15 ft up, I don't call. Common sense prevails. I have 2 'helipads' by my house that haven't been used in 30 years... The contact phone #s don't work, but the FAA still keeps it active on maps... control freaks. One of the helipads was on an estate, which was sold to a developer, and a subdivision was built there. The other one is marked on a golf course fairway. Do some investigating... not everything on airmap is 'legit'. Fact is, as a responsible pilot, in a new area, you SHOULD CALL if you're within 5 miles, because YOU have no idea how active those local airstrips/helipads are. I've never been shunned by any airport personnel for calling... only thanked. It gets fun when you're in 3 airport zones... but, iffin' ya wanna fly, it's best to have the law on YOUR side. [/QUOTE]
