Nice! Last week I applied on Dronezone for an authorization to fly in a 400' grid of a Class D with contract tower. Made the request same as prior approved requests, for 1/4nm radius of different specific locations. This time the approval came in two business days and was a wide area...

Sorry for your misfortune, RPR.

It doesn't look like there was an event occurring that would have triggered a TFR, airspace is Class G under a Class E transition area. Although the altitude shown in the telemetry is 480 ft, its possible the building is 80 or more feet tall and if so and he's within 400' horizontally of the...

$213 for a DJI P4P hi-capacity battery on Amazon. Tariffs must be kicking in.

There are other areas you can launch from along the Hudson that aren't NYS Parks. If the operation you want to complete has to be done from the state park, you may be SOL. Let us know if you get approval. As BigAl07 wrote, the airspace is complex along the Hudson, especially so close to NYC...

Thanks, Bill T, that is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Notice that your Class E extension doesn't even appear in the Airmap app map, while it was shown on mine. Sectional shows both airspaces to be same, within a Class E beginning at 700' and the Class E surface extension of a Class D...

Old school or new school, you are going to need more than a sectional in your hand to get approval to fly in controlled airspace. You're going to need one of the apps.

This may be clear as day to some of you, but I can't figure it out. Area in question is the Class E airspace associated with POU, a Class D airport. Here Airmap shows that authorization is required for where the X is in POU E4 airspace. The sectional shows the Class E extension as depicted in...

I have a situation related to this that impacts my Real Estate business. The POU airport has Class D and a surface-E extension to the northeast. There is also a small airport, 44N within that extension. In the facility map snapshot below i see that the facility map was changed. The area I...

Thanks, BigA107. It sounds like you included no specific location in your application other than Class G? Nice that they included your 107.29 waiver in your airspace authorization. I have had two airspace authorizations denied. One of the FAA contractors who contacted me said that he didn't...

I'll be submitting a 107.29 waiver soon. VO and I will include the Gold Seal night operations training for rPIC and VO and respond to the Performance Based Standards questions. I think I have a handle on what to submit for operational details and mitigations. Many of the recently granted 107.29...
