Two questions gang:
Does one have to have a registered (N-number) Drone in order to get authorization from a control tower to fly within the Airport Traffic Area or can I just call them and request a time I'd like to depart (in Z) and how long you'll stay up as well as your location relative to the airport?
Secondly, I've read the threads and watched youtube on where to fly, I've noticed pretty much everyone offers their understanding of where they can fly with regards to an airport etc.
Is there a way to find out if there are some other areas in a city that, while having some good land to fly drones, might somehow have a restriction that is not known nor posted for those of us who want to fly our drones can observe?
For example, lets say I find a park and it's not near a hospital, school etc. But after 15 minutes, the police arrive and give a citation for flying a drone. What's the recourse if there is for example, no signage at the place you're flying giving us warning that we can't fly there?
How exactly would this work???
I understand the need for regulations et al, but there should really be some type of notification about this.
Unfortunately for me, I live within the ATA of Las Vegas McCarran Airport so I have to drive a bit to get out from underneath it.
Thanks
