Airspace Authorization

Prior to flying your drone, you must know what airspace you will be in and if there are any restrictions or prohibitions. The FAA, working with industry, has developed applications that show the type of airspace you are in, if the airspace is restricted or prohibited, and if you will need an airspace authorization prior to flying.

These applications are:

FAA-approved UAS Service Supplier (USS) of the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC; pronounced “lance”)

FAA B4UFly App

  • Provides airspace information only

The applications are available on most mobile devices.
