Info is great. Learn all you can. Folks should know that LAANC approvals are available from different vendors, also for free. AirMap's business plan and lobbying efforts run counter to the best interest of independent part 107 operators. Enjoy LAANC but dump AirMap.

No offence to @Zzzoom3. There are a LOT of ops that don't realize that behind the scene, AirMap is trying to Create a maze in order to then be able to sell a map to that maze. Nothing to do with LAANC. We need to band together and look out for OUR best interests. Spread the word on AirMap. They don't want part 107 ops to know.

+1 on dump airmap here.

Feels to much like Venture Capital money trying to make themselves a government mandated business. Private profit off a public service monopoly.

Plus they make too many mistakes on their maps for me to ever feel comfortable using them over an official source or better developed source like Foreflight.

Yeah, the lack of airspace accuracy after all this time is another red flag for sure. There are airspace vendors available for them to purchase accurate data if they cared.

Air-who? LOL

Besides AirMap and SkyWatch(which is a bit confusing) what other Apps will provide LAANC service? And which ones will be free or cheap to use?

 

[LUIS MARTINEZ]

Skyward io.

Skyward io.

Is there an IOS app for it in the App Store? Can’t seem to find it. Thanks!

 

[LUIS MARTINEZ]

Yes there is, search for Skywardio. Full disclosure, I don't use apps. I request my LAANC approval on my PC, print it before leaving to fly the job.

Do you do this via the Skyward website? I've been using Airmap since the LAANC rollout, but may look into other avenues for getting my authorizations.

Yes, it is easy to do. As an old man I absolutely hate phone apps, fingers too thick....I simply get my LAANC approval the day before or the morning of my job, print it and off to work.

 

[Z06Aggie]

Thanks! I'm going to look into this.
