I've identified an area in my city that I want to fly and get some video. The area is urban but not in a NFZ. Edit: This is in the US.
When looking at this using Airmap, it is a Yellow zone listing 16 different entries:
1 Class B Airport - 4.1 miles away
7 Medical heliports
1 Police station heliport
1 Radio station heliport
2 TV station heliports
1 Bank heliport
2 real estate heliports
1 Hotel heliport
My plan is to call all 16 locations before I fly to let them know where, when and how high. I'm doing this for fun and not for hire. I'm registered with the FAA and my ID is firmly stamped on my Mavic.
I want to confidently fly in this area knowing I followed all the rules and did what I was expected to do. In other words, I want to relax and not have to worry or look over my shoulder.
For those of you that have flown in similar areas, can you provide any advice? I've never had to call the airport before, so I'm not sure what to expect or how much push-back I will get.
Thanks!
