NO AIRPORT can give you permission to fly a drone. They make & log recommendations, that is all. Get a sectional chart and make a judgement call. It would also be nice to let them know you're in the air via an email to the tower.
Give them:
1. a radial
2. altitude
3. gps location
4. time window
5. contact info
Send that to the tower in a email and fly on. You could also Cc the local police if you're a nice guy, but they do not control the air.
EXAMPLE EMAIL:
SUBJ: UAS Flight Notification:
Unmanned Aircraft System Flight Plan (AUG 28, 2018) - Pilot Name
I am notifying whomever it may concern that I will be operating a UAS within # miles of [airport]. My designated aircraft is a DJI Mavic Air, registration #.
I will be flying;
063º at 0400 AGL, GPS 98.554141, 103.87456
FLIGHT TIME: 1400Z FLIGHT DURATION: 6HRS
If you need to contact me in case of emergency, I can be reached via mobile phone at +##-###-####.
Best Regards.
TIPS:
> Take a large flight window, or you may have to send another email.
> If the sectional chart restricts the airspace, you can still fly. But you are 100% liable for any mishaps resulting in damage. And there will be a record of the airport tower's recommendation to use the airspace.
> You do not need a reply from the airport. But please give at least 3-5 days notice before your flight, if you can.
> regardless if you do this or not, If you hit anything and damage people or property YOUR'RE SCREWED. |
