As long as your flights do not interfere with 'manned aircraft', I have a very high level of confidence that you will be fine. Flying is not an exact science, regardless of what some folks may tell us. It is when the mistake causes 'interference' with other aircraft, people, or property that...

When I walk down the street and look into my own house, I cannot see inside when it is bright outside. At night when it is lighter inside than outside I can see quite well. What that reporter did was use high intensity filming lights inside the house to make it brighter inside than outside so...

Very well.

So here are the published lateral limits for Class B Airports: Lateral Limits: The outer limits of the airspace will not exceed a 30 NM radius from the primary airport This 30 NM radius will generally be divided into three concentric circles: an inner 10 NM radius, a middle 20 NM radius, and...

Actually I believe that we are both a little off. See at the end of the post I edited to say that I was wrong. The diameter of Class B surface in question appears to be 10 nautical miles, and I am confident in that distance.

I agree and that is one reason I am a fan of the B4UFly app. It is the FAA telling you if THEY feel you are in controlled airspace. Things will continue to smooth out over time, but I do believe that 107 will be the way to go for the most freedom to fly. Just my opinion.

There are many ways to go about it. I have experience in aviation, so I went to the FAA website and found everything I needed. I also used some YouTube free resources. I did it for free, using publicly available resources. If you have no aviation experience at all, it will take a little more...

I have not seen where someone has changed their registration, but I am reasonably confident that you could upgrade once you get the license.

You can get your 107, and as soon as the LAANC becomes active you will be able to receive 400 ft. authorization automatically on your cell phone. That is the reason for the grid boxes (to let you know what altitude they will approve in that area for 107 flights.

Nice job Sar104, I knew it was too far inside the LAANC to not be controlled airspace but you proved it. Perhaps saved someone a lot of grief too.

I think you are right to consider 10 nautical miles as the radius of the Class B airspace since that is the normal distance they use.

Lateral Limits: The outer limits of the airspace will not exceed a 30 NM radius from the primary airport This 30 NM radius will generally be divided into three concentric circles: an inner 10 NM radius, a middle 20 NM radius, and an outer 30 NM radius The inner 10 NM radius area may be...

That completes the example you started. I think you will get those questions right from now on..

Your second paragraph is backwards, but your example is right on. Now, if you are headed north and the runway is on your right, what is the relationship of your plane to the runway. a. you are east b you are west c you are southwest

For runway 18, when you touch town, your heading will be 180 (South). For runway 36 your heading will be 360 (North). The number of the runway will tell you what your compass should read when you are landing.
