They won't do that. Even most full-scale airports aren't shown on the sectional charts. In the county I live in, there are 13 airports listed on the FAA's web site, and only two of them (one of which has no traffic at all and is probably unfit to fly into or out of) is shown on the sectional. (All 13 of them get a five-mile circle around them on the FAA's "know before you fly" web site, however, they think that if we're flying inside one of those circles we should notify the airport.)
What I like to fantasize about is this: Now that all of our models over .55 pounds are aircraft, shouldn't we have to report all of our accidents other than the really minor ones? There are, after all, laws requiring that most accidents be reported.
