Hi All,
Here is theFAA press release from 27-Apr-17.
I won't try to summarize, other than they have mapped what appears to be mostly Class E airspace around smaller airports. Interestingly, a local area I thought was Class G is actually Class E down to 400' AGL. I understand that i can only fly under this space with FAA authorization. I do real estate aerials and may get a request to fly in this airspace. The turnaround for authorizations, as I understand, can be up to 90 days, which doesn't work in the real estate market, so I applied for a waiver.
Has anyone else looked at the maps and experienced similiar?
I've never tried to fly in this area, so don't know if the geofencing in the Go 4 app would have notified me.
Another question. I'm new to this world. Is there a more suitable forum for drone related FAA discussions? Perhaps the DJI forum is too global and more product focused.
Thanks,
Don
