unless an emergency exists, what airfields are unauthorized?
atmore camden chatom dauphin island foley peter prince
are breaks authorized in uncontrolled field?
only if there are no civilian aircraft operating in the area and you must state your intentions over the CTAF. Be sure to use your TCAS and visual scans to make sure that you do not see any other aircraft

yes, but note that civilians may not know the procedure for a PEL, therefore you have to make your calls more descriptive
