ADU 0948: How Do I Get Airspace Approval To Fly Near An Airport Without LAANC? - a podcast by Drone U

In today's show, we reveal how a drone pilot can get speedy airspace approval to fly near an airport without LAANC.



Our caller wishes to fly in controlled airspace near an airport. Unfortunately, the airport does not have LAANC. How can our pilot get airspace approval? Of course, he can apply for airspace approval using FAA's DroneZone. However, this is a cumbersome process that can take up to 90 days. Can a drone pilot get airspace approval for an airport quickly without LAANC?



In this show, you will learn that tower operators have the ultimate authority to permit you to fly in controlled airspace. However, many tower operators have a biased opinion about the drone industry, making it extremely difficult for you to get permission.



How should you communicate with the tower operator to increase your chances of getting airspace approval? And, why is it a good idea to record your conversation with the tower operator? For all this and much more, tune in to our latest show. Thanks for the great question. Fly Safe!
