UASidekick Is Approved To Provide LAANC Services as a Unmanned Service Supplier (USS)
FAA: “LAANC is the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability, a collaboration between FAA and Industry. It directly supports UAS integration into the airspace. It provides access to controlled airspace with near real-time processing of airspace authorizations below approved altitudes in controlled airspace.” Link – The LAANC authorization system is not for flights conducted in class “G” airspace and cannot be used to request approval for flights outside of controlled airspace.
How and when can recreational flyers use LAANC?
USING LAANC: LAANC automates the application and approval process for controlled airspace authorizations. Through applications developed by FAA Approved UAS Service Suppliers (USS) of LAANC, drone pilots can request an airspace authorization to fly in controlled airspace.
When a drone pilot submits a request through a LAANC USS, the request is checked against multiple airspace data sources in the FAA UAS Data Exchange. If approved, pilots receive their authorization in near-real time. LAANC also provides FAA’s Air Traffic visibility into where and when planned drone operations will take place.
