Hello Everyone
This is my first post...so go easy on me ;-)  I have been doing alot of reading on this site and the internet in general and have been unable to find the contact information for airport/air traffic control at Chicago O'Hare. Is there a directory that you guys know of that has this information easily available?  I am just inside the 5 mile buffer. Thanks for your help and all the good information on this site.

That is because it isn't at O'Hare.  

Chicago O'Hare TRACON (C90) provides air traffic control services for Chicago O'Hare, Chicago Midway, and several other airports in the Chicagoland area.

thanks for the link, but Im still unable to find any contact info that would allow me to notify them about my "flight" as recommended/suggested....am I missing it?

If you are in the 1.5 mile no fly zone it doesn't matter, you can't take off. From 1.5 to 5 miles the max altitude varies. Check your location here

TR I would not worry about it if you are almost 5 miles away. The Academy of Model Aeronautics safety code says this:

Not fly higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level within three (3) miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator.

I think that applies more to small private airports than major ones.

thanks for your input/help.  I am just trying to learn all I can and get my ducks in a row before my Phantom arrives. I just want to make sure I'm in "compliance"

The large park I plan on flying in to start is bisected by this 5 mile "buffer zone" line. I will have the max height set to 400 ft anyway so that shouldn't be an issue.

Maybe they don't want to be contacted. But they do have a Facebook page.

Ugh facebook, Thanks for your help
