Attention #Drone Pilots – Read This - Exciting Updates to the Low Altitude
Authorization and Notification Capability
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced two important
expansions of the Low Altitude Authorization and Capability (LAANC), which
automates the application and approval process for drone pilots to obtain
airspace authorizations in controlled airspace.
The capability is now active at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood
Marshall Airport, Dulles International Airport, William P. Hobby Airport in
Houston and Newark Liberty International Airport. A full list of airports
covered by LAANC is available on our website.
Seven additional companies have been approved by the FAA to provide LAANC
services.
LAANC directly supports the safe integration of UAS into the nation’s
airspace, expedites the time it takes for drone pilots to receive
authorizations to fly under 400 feet in controlled airspace. LAANC also
provides pilots with an awareness of where they can and cannot fly.
The program is accessible to all pilots who operate under the FAA’s small
drone rule (Part 107) and was expanded in July to provide near real-time
airspace authorizations to recreational flyers.
LAANC provides airspace authorizations only. Pilots must still check NOTAMs
and weather conditions before they fly.
