Sorry for new thread but I didn't want to ask in other threads.
I'm new to this hobby.
The more I read and try to learn about this the more confused I get.
I live within 5 miles of an airport, neighbors and friends work there. The airport manager knows me, we went to school together so I really want to do this legally.
Do I have this correct?
I register as a hobby flier.
Then when I want to fly I go to this FAA website Request a Waiver/Airspace Authorization – Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) and request a waiver. I read this is how the FAA wants you to do it rather than calling the tower.
Is that it?
What am I missing if anything?
