I just bought my phantom 3, and ive spent the last day searching google for answers but cant seem to find an answer that i've been trying to find. i live near an international airport, 4.5 miles away. my question is: can i fly in my back yard, at 6ft or lower? within my yard and below fence level? i have NO intentions of flying over my house or neighbors. from what i read, and think i understand, the anser is no, right? because i"m still near an airport? or am i wrong? from the faa site it meantions flying over neighbors, and search results say the same thing, but i have no intentions as a hobbiest of flying over the house or my neighbors house, only at or below my fence (6ft) and only in my brick fence.
I don't know what you are trying to accomplish. At ~6' you will still be dealing with prop wash off the ground. But to answer your question, you are still violating the FAA regs.
I remember reading that you can fly as high as the tallest structure or tree on your property, correct me if I'm wrong RG. I shot a short video for the Humane Society which was located less than a mile from the airport, I was able to get permission from the tower after I told them I would keep it below 100 feet and to call them back when through.
