We recommend setting the Altitude and Distance limits on the STEM Ranger to distances that will keep it away from neighboring properties. Q: How close to an airport can we fly? A:You must contact the airport and control tower before flying within five miles of an airport or heliport. If you are not sure if you are five miles away, call the closet airport and talk to thembut remember you are a school operating as hobbyist. Always error on the side of safety.
