In today’s show, we share how you can get airspace authorization for a contract towered airport. Does the authorization process for a contract towered airport differ from that of an FAA towered one?
Our caller, John, is in a fix. John needs to fly near a small regional airport that is contract towered. He already applied for a WAAS authorization through the FAADroneZone. But when he called up the tower operator, he was informed that operators of contract towers do not have the authority to grant airspace authorization. Is there any truth to this claim?
You will learn that tower operators indeed have the ultimate authority to grant airspace authorizations So, what do you do when tower operators feign ignorance and lie to your face? We reveal some effective ways of communicating with such tower operators. We also speculate if the implementation of Remote ID will negate the need for airspace authorization altogether.
