Procedure
I was given false information about where I could fly my drone. I was told I would be okay if I was 2 miles away from the airport and under 400 feet.  I flew my drown 2.6 miles away from CLL Airport in College Station TX.  Although I was under the 400 feet limit I was within the 5 mile limits. I was informed about my mistake by the Manager of the Airport and was recommended to contact ASRS and report my problem. I was also given instructions on what to do in the future if I wanted to fly my drone around the area.
A private individual reported being advised by the CLL Airport Manager that he should cease flying his drone below 400 FT within 2.6 miles of the airport.
