A remote pilot wants to fly a small unmanned aircraft near a small airport, entirely within uncontrolled (Class G) airspace. What does AC 107-2A § 5.10.1 say about notification or authorization for this operation?
Why: AC 107-2A § 5.10.1 states that unless the flight is conducted within controlled airspace, no notification or authorization is necessary to operate near an airport, but the remote PIC must be aware of and avoid all traffic patterns and approach corridors to runways and landing areas.
No advance-notice requirement to an airport manager exists in part 107 or AC 107-2A for operations in uncontrolled airspace.
There is no requirement to obtain permission from based aircraft owners; § 5.10.1 conditions the operation on avoiding traffic patterns and approach corridors, not on owner consent.
