I know this has been asked but I searched around but couldn't find a definite answer.
I am a hobbyist and I recently got my Phantom 3. My problem is that I live on the outskirts of town which has this nice open field with no trees which makes it the perfect place to practice. However, I'm 2 miles from the hospital helipad and about 4.5 miles from an airport.
I'm well aware that I have to contact the airport and helipad 48 hours before I fly but as of right now, I just want to practice in this open field in which I wouldn't go higher then tree line until I'm feeling comfortable. Once I am ready to go higher up then I would obviously be a responsible person.
I"m just wondering if there's a way to contact airports besides calling them? I just feel like I"m going to be annoying to constantly contact them when I wouldn't be going higher then 40ft and I"d like to put in practice every day.
Thanks!
