I ended up just calling before I saw these responses. Filed the notam and contacted the airport. Thanks for the help!

I appreciate the response. I've never filed a Notam, googling how now but if you have any tips I'm ears. Thanks!

So my boss booked me for a gig tomorrow outside of Chicago. I took a look at the location and realized it is 2000 feet off the tip of a runway ? Firstly I'd like to double check with you all regarding the regulations here as I have not had to deal with class d/e airspace much before. It is my...

Skyward wont let me sign up or even request information without an email attached to a business domain. Im just getting irritated now. The FAA should have a LAANC form and should not be mandating business to private companies. Looks like I'm going to wait until the end of the week for an...

I have no applied yet, still trying to find the right software to use ( apparently several only work with iOS ).

I have yet to use LAANC but need to for an upcoming Gig. All of the information I'm finding tells me to download kittyhawk or an equivalent service. Is there a way to fill out a form online?

Am I supposed to be in contact with the tower throughout the flight? or is it just a check in call to make sure somebody didnt forget about me? Calling the tower at O'Hare seems tricky.

Thanks for the responses folks, this is useful. I actually was unaware of the facilities maps until I saw you using the term "zero grid" ( like i said ive never had to apply for airspace auth before ) and I found my location. It's grid 100. I'm guessing we are going to be getting our hair cut...

Hello, I'm flying in Chicago under part 107 and have yet to need Airspace Authorization. My boss wants a shot in a couple of months that is 1 mile outside of the O'Hare runway. Those plane are going to be coming in super low that close and so I have two questions. 1 ) Am I screwed? 2 ) If...

Hi, I'm a part 107 operator in the Chicago area and I'm having trouble predicting TFRs to organize business around them. I know anytime there is a major sporting even i typically get a 5 mile radius of NFZ around the arena so I've started looking for sports schedules ahead of time. I'm...
