    Small airports aren’t really an issue tho. FAA won’t come after you for that. But you should always know where you are, where the restricted air spaces are, with a plan to avoid them. If not you’re fucking up as a captain.

    Restricted airspace’s are there for a reason. It’s for safety and not paying attention to them has consequences.

      Yes, but unlicensed people won’t know where they are. It’s not like there’s signs in the sky.

        I’m an unlicensed ultralight pilot and I know where I can and cannot fly. Every ultralight pilot I know also knows where to fly (and how to read a sectional).

        There are sectional charts on the ground, available to the general public, not just licensed pilots. If you’re going to fly, you are expected to know the relevant airspace long before you fly in it.

        If there are, landing might not be the best option! Best to fly over the apocalypse 👍
