without permission from the using or controlling agency. Accordingly, as part of the
requirements for model aircraft operations within 5 miles of an airport set forth in section
336(a)(4) of P.L. 112-95, the FAA would expect modelers operating model aircraft in
airspace covered by §§ 91.126 through 91.135 and part 73 to obtain authorization from
air traffic control prior to operating.


EDIT:
§§ 91.126 covers Class G airspace
That certainly throws a wrinkle on the "notify" issue.
