Ok, so I am planning on getting some footage of some lighthouses in my area. One of them is nearby but in a Class D space, and would love some clarification.
For a hobbyist (not Remote Pilot Airman Certificate) I just have to notify an airport and ATC of my flight plans if the airport is within 5 miles correct? I know if you fall under the part 107, you have to fill out a special form, but my understanding is hobbyist just have to notify the airport and ATC (and I think we restricted from Class B).
This is within 4 miles of an airport, however, I will be staying under 300ft and the lighthouse is 175ft high. I just want to make sure I do this correctly.
Also, is the rule 5 miles radius of the airport or is it 5 miles and in Class C, D, E. My house for example is out of the 5 mile radius of the airport, but the Class C extends out 6 miles and I am just barely in that Class C. Do I need to notify the airport?
