What does LAANC give drone pilots?

Near real-time authorization for controlled airspace.

  1. A free weather briefing
  2. Near real-time authorization for controlled airspace ✔
  3. A temporary Remote Pilot Certificate

Why: LAANC, the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability, checks requests against FAA data like UAS Facility Maps. If approved, pilots get authorization in near real time.

Huh, didn't know that: LAANC is available to both Part 107 pilots and recreational flyers.

The dad joke
I got LAANC approval in seconds. My drone was so impressed it did a little hover dance.
