So using 9.19 total SM minus 4.0 SM that puts this guy .19 SM out side of the 5 mile radius around JFK. This might makes him legal, Not smart but Legal just the same.

I agree with Sport_Pilot. He flew too close to a full scale aircraft. This contrary to the AMA safety code (and probably the guidelines of any other CBO that I may not be aware of,) and will thus attract the attention of the FAA. Whether the drone was 0.01 miles or 100 miles from the nearest airport is irrelevant.
