How to Submit LAANC Requests

Glad you showed the FAA TFR Map as a primary way to find TFRs. Seems like not everyone knows about that and is definitely one of the things to check in your preflight planning 👍

I actually live in Prescott and fly around the airport Greg mentioned. The grid actually has a 0 AGL at the very edge of the 5 mile radius, but I regularly got approval to fly as high as 300' (I don't think I ever asked for 400') to do some construction progression photos in the 0 grid. So there are some areas of 0 AGL that are 5 miles from an airport and some grids of 200' or 300' relatively close to the airport. Just depends on the runway path (at least in Prescott).

Probably a great video to put out with the new DJI geofencing update!

Video on that coming out tomorrow 6am eastern :)

Great video Greg. Thank you.👍

👍thank you

Can you do a video where you fly the drone 400 feet above an object within 400 ft radius.... Thanks for the course..

[@PilotInstitute]

There is really not much to say other than it's only available to part 107 pilots, you have to be out airspace that requires authorization, then you can fly higher than 400 feet AGL if you say within 400 feet laterally of the object, and you can go up to 400 feet on top.

yep, i use Airspace link every time i fly and print a copy and bring it with me. fly for fun fly VLOS and don't fly over anyone.

Uh, this may be a dumb question, but why would you want to fly your drone anywhere near a place that has lots of fixed wing aircraft flying around really fast at low altitudes, say, like an airport? The thought of my Air 3S getting a C-130 enema is enough for me to say, “no thanks!”

[@BHPilot82]

There may be jobs near an airport, traffic pattern altitudes vary at airports but generally between 700 ft and 1000 ft agl. Obviously you wouldn't want to do a job at either end of the active runway. And would be wise, if possible, to do the job when the traffic pattern is lowest density. It can be done safely 👍 Also helps to know traffic patterns at airports, right or left and have a comm radio with you to be able to listen to the local traffic. Obviously you don't transmit on the radio but it sure helps with knowing what's coming and going and where they're at.

You can fly “near” an airport without being near the runways. But it is possible to fly closer to runways as long as you understand how to do it and get proper approval. This could be for a specific job right there at the airport.
