Hi communities,
I recently got my PPL license and am planning to take my wife to overfly the Baltimore city at night.
My home airport is KMTN, which is a class D airport lying under KBWI class B airspace
My plan is to take off from KMTN and contact Potomac Approach(which is the APP Controller for BWI Class B airspace ) and get clearance to orbit the Baltimore city. What i am not clear is how should i let Potomac App know that i'm going back to KMTN and how should i transit to KMTN CT?
Usually i would initiate the call with KMTN CT while i am 10 miles out, but if i'm just over Baltimore city, there is no way that i could be 10 miles away from the KMTN airport.
Should i fly away until i have a 10 miles distance then let Potomac Approach know i'm going back to KMTN and then call KMTN CT?
Sorry for this rookie question
Thanks
