Today’s question is about renting airspace authorizations. Are there any issues with renting airspace authorization from a fellow drone pilot? How can you expedite this process?
Our caller, John from Oklahoma tried to get his airspace authorization via LAANC. But was unable to do so. Can he rent an airspace authorization from a fellow drone pilot? Does FAA allow this “give and take” of airspace authorizations?
We discuss the various issues surrounding airspace authorizations, and discuss the steps you can take to overcome them. You will also learn how Drone U can help you expedite the whole process. Watch out for some interesting information about our forthcoming courses. Thanks to John for the great question. Fly Safe!
