Drone airspace abuser
A pilot is always learning right. I'm still low time pilot and recently current after 10 years hiatus. I'm having to relearn stuff.
As indicated in the attached picture. I take off from KCHD and fly North East to KIWA. A very short hop. Would the KCHD tower hand me off to KIWA before I reach their airspace? Should I get ATIS before contacting KIWA tower. Normally I would at any towered airport with Atis but its such a short distance I might not be able to. What if I'm already in KIWA airspace when Handed off? Would I get in trouble for already being in their airspace. I just want to get me head straight before I head over to KIWA for T&G's this weekend.
Thanks.
