One of my favorite advantages: When flying under part 107 rules, you don't necessarily need to obtain prior permission from ATC when flying within 5 miles, like under recreational rules. With part 107, the class of airspace determines when you must contact ATC, when flying in B,C,D or E. This doesn't help near airports where the class B/C/D/E extends all the way to the surface, but smaller airports with E beginning at 700' would allow you to fly in the class G below. Common sense though, if you're flying near an airport, probably a good idea to call. Contact is just not required by part 107 rules when flying in class G airspace, regardless of distance to the airport. |
