The Need for Charting
FAA Restrictions
The FAA tightly controls drone operation within a 5 mile radius of a Class B (i.e. Atlanta), Class C (i.e. Jacksonville International), or Class D (i.e. St. Augustine) airport.
In addition, operation within a 5 mile radius of some Class E airports is likewise controlled if that airspace starts at surface level.
Authorization Request
If a given property maps to controlled airspace, Uphapee Drone can file an authorization request with the FAA. The FAA response time is typically 1 to 2 business days, but can take longer depending on volume.
The FAA usually approves a request unless the property is DIRECTLY underneath an approach/departure pattern
Charting Process
Uphapee Drone uses either the property address or actual GPS coordinates to determine if an authorization request is or is not needed.
