My last post seems to have disappeared. But here's the key thing:

The main question I have tried to bring up here is which airports will have to get notifications of modeling activity (and, if the FAA's interpretation" stands, will have the power to veto all modeling within five miles? If the answer is "all airports for which the FAA's web site has contact information," modeling is potentially in big trouble, because those five-mile circles will cover nearly all of the US. Frank and others have said that it's only airports shown on the sectional charts. (There have been claims that it's only airports with ATC, but I don't think anyone is still pressing that). I hope this is true. But I have yet to see a reason for the insistence on that position, or a cite to anything that supports it.

Anybody have some evidence?
