Ok, so I've been looking at the sectional chart for my area. After dropping some pins on Google Maps and looking up the latitude and longitude on the sectional, I've found a huge discrepancy.

When comparing the coordinates from google for Hancock Airport outside Syracuse, N.Y. to the sectional chart, it seems to be on the edge of its inner class C ring.

How can we figure out where it is ok to fly without a waiver with such discrepancies? (Part 107 flights)

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, I dunno?

Check your area and let me know.

Thoughts and comments welcome.

Thanks
