New here and my first post..... We received our P4P a couple of weeks ago. I plan to get the Part 107 as we will be using the P4P to produce short marketing videos for the boats we sell.
In the meantime, I am practicing flying in an open field near our office, which is within 5 miles of an unconrtrolled airport, a seaplane base, a hospital landing pad, and a privately owned grass strip.
Before my first flight, I called each of the facilities and the owner of the private strip. The private strip owner said I did not need to call him each time I flew as he is getting old and rarely flys (the strip is right at the edge of the 5 mile circle). The other 3 facilites suggested I send them an email prior to each time I would be flying, stating the time of the flight, the area where I will be flying, and the maximum anticipated altitude. I have the 3 emails set up as a group in gmail so it is very simple to send 1 email that goes to all 3 facilities.
