We were recently tasked with mapping a property we own that is extremely close to an airport. We put in a LAANC for approval through Aloft and first received the response of "Pending FAA Review". About a week later IT was "Authorized by FAA". The day of the flight we put in a NOTAM and we called for a briefing from FAA Flight Service Station. While conducting the flight we felt uncomfortable with the proximity of the landing flight path of incoming airplanes and erred on the side of caution by calling it for the day. Questions.
With an approved LAANC is there anything more that needs to be done?
Does the tower or FAA see our drone when flying? Are they watching it for safety?
Will the tower or FAA call to check in if they are concerned with actions of the flight?
Is it really on us to decide solely what could be dangerous or too close to an airplane landing flight path?
