Hmm! Is that ‘Common Sense’ with a drone that weighs 250g. Just like flying within 5nm of an Airport or 3nm of a heliport - would that be common sense and safe?
I mean, yeah, I don't have any plans on flying my mini near airports, it won't go well regardless. I think it's way more important for the OP though to know they're free to fly it in controlled airspace. Very important for somewhere like Toronto where practically the whole city is controlled airspace due to three overlapping airports.
All I know is I'll be confidently flying my mini in situations where I want to fly out of VLOS such as inspecting a roof and when I don't feel like doing a site survey, flight plan, logging every flight, etc. (I mean, are you *really* flying your drone legally? have you actually run down the number of preparations you're supposed to make for taking off each and every time?) and I'll save my Mavic Air 2 for restricted use with my advanced certificate.
