There is no reason that a modeler should have to try to contact a airport that may be five miles from them in order to fly if at a rc site. Now as for clubs that are within five miles
of a airport they should send a letter to the airport informing them of their location and then it should be the airport informing incoming and outgoing traffic of the rc site.
I do think if someone is not at rc site and they know there is a airport within five miles of where they plan to fly they should contact the airport. I also think the AMA and
the FAA should work together to identify all rc sites that or within five miles of each other and the FAA should provide contact info for the airports.
I also think that most airports would not welcome the increase in phone traffic if every body was to call to inform them they are going to fly.
