Where sectionals fall short ...

I am planning a business opportunity near the Boston area. The site is in a Class delta airspace nested in a Class bravo airspace. NOTAMS for the nearest airport in the Class delta indicate that after 11pm this spot is Class golf. I've got a picture of the proposed spot. I have the lon. and lat. of the site, but I need to PINPOINT the site on the sectional to make a determination as to my airspace requirements. I could be in a sfc Class bravo or a 7000/2000 Class bravo and/or the Class delta in what looks to be active hours. Any tools where I can pinpoint a coordinate pair and juxtapose it exactly over a sectional? I can find the general spot but it looks like I might need to split some hairs ... I think I'm close ...

This is the BOS TAC chart ... Coords are:
42°13'53.5"N 71°06'26.7"W
lat. 42.231515 lon. -71.107424

If it happens to fall into Class bravo 2000 to 7000 MSL, or Class delta @ 2600, I still have to ask for an airspace waiver methinks?

Thanks ...

You are under Boston Class B (2000 - 7000 MSL) and Boston Class E (7000 - 18000 MSL) so neither of those apply to sUAS operations.

From 1200 - 0100 Z you are in Norwood Class D (surface - 2000 MSL). That's the one that matters, and would need authorization or waiver. Outside those hours it's Class G.
 
Thanks for the confirmation Sar. What digital sectional app is that you're using?
