There is no rule stopping you from operating a drone within 5.5 km of an untowered airport. This open-access zone is a great place to fly, provided you keep a watchful eye on your surroundings. If a traditional aircraft cruises into your local airspace, just wrap up your session quickly and perform a controlled landing.
