Thanks a lot for your reply!
Do you know what is the minimum notice period for requesting the authorization?
Also, how is it possible to find the contact of the airports/towers depending on the flight area?
You are very welcome!
I think the minimum notice depends on the airport and how much traffic in and out the airport receives and time of day you want to fly your Mavic Pro.
Google search the airport information or the airport tower contact number. Be sure to be ready to provide the information the tower will ask. That way you are not wasting their time since they are very busy people.
Here's an example what what I say:
My name is ________________ and I'm requesting permission to fly my under 2 lbs Mavic Pro Drone for recreational activity at altitude _______ feet (request 100 feet because if not they'll tell you 50 feet usually). I'm the only operator and I'd like to fly for __________ minutes (or hours).
They'll ask where you are located so be sure to give them specific landmark areas of where you are such as highways, freeways, stadiums or other locations to give the tower controller of where you are are flying. Also know which way is North, South, East and West.
Be sure too to be clear when talking to them. Hope this all helps! |
