Crack The Sky

I'm just glad it worked out for you. And I'm not talking about having the drone fall from the sky and locating it. I'm taking about flying in very busy Class D with instrument approaches, beyond line of sight. Bad move, and I'm thankful there was no incident. I'm sure the BLOS was a misunderstanding on your part, and I hope you have it clear in your mind now.I know that, what i was saying is that i was surprised that they didn't object.
My personal opinion is to stay clear of Class B Surface, Class C Surface, Class D, and Class E Surface, notification or not. It's busy, that's why it's Controlled Airspace in the first place. Inflight emergencies happen on a daily basis to all types of aircraft. When they do, and a pilot declares an emergency on the radio, that Airspace is cleared immediately and maybe even closed to everyone, big, small, fast, slow, high, or low, to allow the flight in danger to do WHATEVER he has to do to get on the ground safely.
Not having an Aviation band radio, you would not be aware of any of that going on.
With so many places to fly, I just cannot see the logic in needing to fly in Controlled Airspace. In your case, you could have gone less then (3) miles from where you were and flown in uncontrolled airspace, in relative safety.
