No-drone-zone maps should make registration faster
New maps that show drone owners where they can – and cannot – operate should speed up the registration process for the increasingly popular flying machines.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says it will release the first set of facility maps for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – a.k.a. drones -- April 27. The maps will depict areas and altitudes near airports where UAS may operate safely. They will help drone operators improve the quality of their Part 107 airspace authorization requests and will help the FAA process these requests more quickly.
