Hey guys. I searched and found some old topics, but wanted to check for newer info.
From what I can tell, it seems like hobbyists are only required to notify any relevant ATC's (and be respectful if they say no and don't fly) while professionals are required to file authorization paperwork.
I ask because pretty much all of our city capital and any interesting things nearby are within the airport ring. I really want to shoot some of it from the air this weekend.
Can I call the ATC and discuss flying or is it strictly a no no?
