Right now LAANC is primarily for part 107 operators so recreational flyers don't get authorizations. You can only 'notify' of intended flights but you still have to follow FAA airspace rules. However, LAANC authorizations will be available to hobbyists on July 23rd. Here it is from the horse's mouth: www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/
FAA approved LAANC for recreational flyers today. www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=94105
This may be the most useful video I have ever watched! Thank you so much, and please keep making videos!
Wow, that may be the best comment I have ever received. Thank you for watching and for the encouragement. I really appreciate it.
You’re welcome. I just registered my Spark since I am surrounded by small local airports. I have AirMap and will be using what I have learned.
Couldn't agree with you more Gene Dagle
How could you not like this video? I thought it was very well done!!! The only item forgotten was showing how to draw out the airspace around the intended focal point using the "draw" icon but my pea-brain figured it out on its own. Nice job!
Thanks Tony, glad it was helpful.
@@GadgetInspector This is the perfect reason for the internet to exist; to allow those who can help others help others. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and saving others the headache of the learning curve. Much appreciated! And kudos for replying; nice touch! Have a great day and be safe. :-)
FANTASTIC! Really really helpful. Since the new rules this video is a must! No more hobbyist drone flying so I went and got 107 certified. I used to just call ATC. I wondered how to easily learn AirMap. Thank You!!
Good move getting the cert. I just took the recurrent exam last week since my 2-years were up. It’s definitely the way to go. Glad the vid helped.
I just got my 107 certification and the information in this video is new to me . Thanks so much for this information! You saved me a bunch of time! I am subscribing to your content because you are well educated and a good communicator! Keep up the good works!
This was a great help. I'm new, just got a DJI Mini 2. Thanks!
Awesome, congrats. I have one as well and I love it. Hope you enjoy it. Planning on some videos on it soon.
As a fellow 107 holder, thanks for this video. I have been fortunate enough that all of my projects have been in glass G, but I know others may not be that lucky.
I love class G. I have several spots in that airspace, so I likely won't need to use LAANC too often. It's just nice to know it's as simple and fast as it is when I do need it.
Thank You for the easy path to Authorization. Well done. I am 107 Pilot.
Great Video! I had the app open during the tutorial and was able to follow along easily. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I have not registered with the FAA yet, I am flying my drone in Parks, but thank you for the good information its helpful.
Sure, glad it was useful.
THIS IS THE BEST INFORMATIONAL VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED SINCE I STARTED RUclips SEVERAL YEARS AGO!! Has there been any significant changes since you did this video? I'm studying for the Part 107 test and consistently getting high 90's to 100 on practice exams, so I feel pretty confident at this point and may go ahead and take the exam very soon.. THANKS SO MUCH SIR.😁😁👍👍
Nothing is final yet (at least I don't think so) but here are some impending FAA initiatives since this video: www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/DOT_initiatives/. They are actually good changes for part 107 pilots. I'd say if you're feeling confident and prepared, go ahead a sit for the exam. I actually used a program called remotepilot101 to study and will be using it to study for re-certification here in June. It was $150 for a lifetime subscription. Also search for Tony Northrup's part 107 study guide out here on RUclips. Thanks for the kind words as well, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for an exceptionally clear explanation, with a logical and well spoken lecture. I downloaded the app to my phone, it worked without any effort on my part VERY cool info site. Will review material, as a new potential flyer from the 80's, the new rules are more demanding, but there are way more flyers who need some controls to avoid serious injury. Joining the ama, and a local field group makes the package complete, and safer for all. Best wishes, and again thanks for the hard work.
Glad you enjoyed it Cal. I really should make an update to this video when I get time. A lot has happened since this vid, but it's definitely still relevant.
Great video and really like the way you explain everything! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Kevin, glad it helped.
Best informative video I have seen in a while!!! Just getting my 107 next week so this was perfect timing.
Good to see that new computer is working out for you. Ken is a great guy. Thanks again for what you do.
Hey thanks Rich. Glad it was helpful. Yep...to be honest, this is the first PC I have owned (I've always gone with a laptop for portability). I'll be posting a brief little tour/thank you vid soon. One of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
From what I have seen you deserve every bit of it. Keep up the good work.
I'm a little late in getting here,, but,, it was worth the wait :-) you did a fine job ,, to the point, well done,, thank you for posting
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial on the LAANC system. I had downloaded Airmap previously and had no idea that I would be able to request permission through it.
Congratulations on a great channel. I have subscribed. Cheers.
Hey thanks for the sub Cee Dee. Glad the video helped. Check out my Community tab on my channel page for some important updates since this video. The FAA will now enable authorizations for recreational pilots.
Ditto what Everyday Legend said. Well done, sir!!
Thanks.
extremely useful video! inspired me to get my Part 107 (which I did! yeah!!!)...to make use of the new, fast authorization without issues with NFZ or limited AGL limitations...thanks!!!
That is awesome! Good for you! I have to recertify by June this year. I hope I have enough time to study and go knock it out.
Gadget Inspector ...like riding a bicycle. I’m sure you’ll knock it out easy! Just take a few practice test to refresh. Be well!
Great vid calmed my fears ....just bought my first drone kinda overwhelmed ...you explained this so well thank you
Glad it helped Robert.
Another great video! I was a BETA tester for AIRMAP early on, it is a great boon to drone ops of all types! So for, I have no trouble with the rules and regs, but I'm used to having to operate under license and rules - I've been an amateur radio operator for about 20 years now, and we have to operate under a bookfull of rules, too!
Hey thanks for chiming in James. Yeah I don't think any of the rules are unreasonable, just hoping no crazy changes are coming.
The systems to get authorization here in Spain are still in 17century but I hope that we can get things moving forward fast. Great video Gadget Inspector
I just looked into this app, and I need to watch your video when I have the time. I am sure you will offer good insight.
Cool, hope it helps.
Quick and to the point. Thanks!
Outstanding, that was a Professional presentation!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Great job Gadget! You may have forgotten to add how to check on your authorized upcoming flights. So, once you have authorization for a future flight you tap on your profile, then flights, then tap on the flight you want to check on. It will show all your information about your flight including the area where the flight is to take place.
Thanks for the tip.
Thank you so much for the explanation. I wish you well.
Nice summary! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Very Helpful. Nice to see the Steelcase Pyramid and GRR Airport. Grew up in the GR Area and this made me miss home!
Oh cool. Wow, you're a long way from home.
Excellent presentation! Please continue to educate"ole school" young brother!
Hey thanks Robert. Glad it was helpful.
Thank you sir, thank you so much. Airmap and 107 pilot registration seems scary, but I am beginning to see it not as difficult as i thought. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I am going to look thru your videos and see if you have any more information about Airmap, 107 piloting, and how to get started.
If you know of any good videos explaining these things even more (I AM DETAIL GREEDY AND DONT MIND WATCHING LONG TALKING VIDEOS TO GET INFORMATION).
Please tell me about them.
You are doing a great job!
Please keep up the good work.
Drone On...
I used RemotePilot101 to study for the Part 107 and they also have a RUclips channel so you might want to check that out. I also found a video by Tony Northrup to be quite useful. It is a free study guide for the Part 107 exam. Hope that helps.
Thanks for putting this out there. I didn't know about the LAANC app. Very useful and informative. Guess we'll have to get used to using that since the FAA will be cracking down on hobbyists in the future.
You got it Steve. I figured it was something going under a lot of folks' radar. Hopefully things stay pretty the same as they always have been, but we'll just have to wait and see.
This is why I'm sitting on the fence about purchasing a Beebop or DJI Spark until after the FAA spits out the new regulatory guidelines for model aircraft/drone Hobbyists. For now, I'll just play around with my Hubsan H216A.
Excellent video. Learned lots about Airmap and hobby use. Thanks!
Awesome, glad it helped.
great video. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This was right to the point.
Great job!! Helpful and informative. Many thanks.
Thanks, glad it helped.
Great video tutorial. Very informative and useful to the drone community. Thanks for posting and sharing this video. And have a Happy New Year.
Thanks Ron, Happy New Year to you as well. 2019 is almost here.
Thank you! Very useful information. Great video!
Glad it helped Zack. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your clear explanation
Can you get permission to fly with this app process if your flying as a hobby 101 or will you still need to call the airport?
WV Drone same question
Thanks, GI. VERY useful stuff.
Excellent video with very useful information for both Part 107 & Hobbyist pilots. Two thumbs up.👍👍😎. Oh and Go Bucks !
Hey thanks Bill.
LOL...
Come on Bill you mean Go Big Blue!!!
@@richbeard5500 O-H-I-O 😁😎
Thank you, this was very, very helpful 👍😎👍
What's up Herb? Glad it helped.
helpful although i mostly fly indoor drones and it's positive and they had to address everyone doesn't have common sense and it makes it bad for the majority of hobbiest that follow the rules. Glad you touched on this most important issue God bless thanks for the update and explaining it well...
Excellent. Clear.
Thank you for the information, much appreciated
Sure, glad it helped.
excellent video you explain things very clearly excellent job
Thanks Russell.
Part way through the video I recognized your in GR also. Did you ever get to film the Switch pyramid? Also can you do an updated video of this for us hobbyists using AirMap. I was up by St. Ignace by the bridge (about 4 miles away) and couldn’t tell if I had clearance so I didn’t fly. :(
Hey Aaron. I never did get around to going over there, but I still plan to. I am planning on doing an update, just have to make the time.
Super helpful, thank you!
Great video buddy. Very informative.
Thanks Joe!
Excellent. Very helpful
Thank you! Am I understanding you correctly? As a licensed 107 pilot, in order to film for compensation within restricted airspace (below or above any shelves) I can only submit for a waiver using the FAA website correct? LAANC authorization would not apply since I am being commercially compensated correct? Appreciate the shared wisdom!
LAANC is for obtaining authorization to fly within the 5-mile radius of restricted airspace such as class C, D, etc. Whether you're being compensated or not, as a Part 107 operator you can still request this type of authorization. It just opens up more airspace than for just recreational/hobbyist flying. It's one of the great things about being certified. Here's everything you'd have to submit a waiver request for: www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/part_107_waivers/
But yes, you are correct. Waivers are requested through the FAA website. LAANC is a separate process.
@@GadgetInspector Great - thank you for the reply! Am I correct in assuming there is also a way to submit an authorization request for approval in the future, not just immediately? As if I am contracted to shoot on the 31st, I can file for digital approval through AirMap on the 1st to line my ducks up. Grateful
Yep, you can do that.
@@GadgetInspector Thanks again!
Great informational video, thanks
Thanks for watching.
Very good. I used to use Kittyhawk but stopped. Sometime ago. To be clear, when you setup your flight area if there is no orange circle in that you maybe out in the boondocks, there is no need to get authorization???
Thanks
Right. LAANC is only for authorizations within controlled airspace. Uncontrolled airspace (Class G) in general requires no authorization to fly as long as there are no NOTAMS or flight restrictions issued. AirMap or Kittyhawk both do a good job of providing all of that info.
Great job!
Thanks, a great help in choosing my apps
Glad it helped.
Thanks great video very good information. How is your new PC work for you??
Hey Rick. It's the best PC I have ever owned. So stoked to have it. I love that I can upgrade and tweak things over time. Makes my video production workflow much easier as well, so I should be able to post more videos more efficiently.
Thanks a lot!
You got it!
Awesome Buddy 👍
Thank you very much. This was a great video. I was not able to figure out how to use the air map and lands but with your explanation I was able to do it thank you. I also went to register my Drone. With DFA a. I thought it just cost about R dollars. The lowest price they have missed like 2995. Does anybody know anything about this
Great video 👍👍👍
Very good video. Thanks
Thanks Jim.
Enjoyed the video. Question, does Airmap work on getting authorizations on airport property (the 0 blocks)? I have a client that wants some footage of their airplane at the airport, but in order to get clearance from the other apps, they are asking for the enterprise profile (~$150/month) which is too expensive for a one man show.
Sounds like you would need a waiver for that, but I don't see anything like that listed here: www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/part_107_waivers/. I would be highly surprised if you could get authorization through LAANC for that.
Is there any logical reason to have an AGL of 0 if there are buildings that are higher than that(some of them almost 400 feet high)? I doubt me flying a drone at 30 AGL next to a building that is 100 feet high is going to put a airplane or helicopter at risk.
I get your point, but I doubt the FAA will change any of that. Also keep in mind that manned aircraft (especially private pilots, helicopters, etc) often fly lower than 400 AGL. Now when I'm flying downtown I get to fly 400 feet above the tallest structure, but again, I say just always fly smart and safe and keep your eyes peeled for manned aircraft.
After getting authorization from Airmap does it automatically sync the Dji Go 4 app to fly or is there another step? Thanks..
Nope, Airmap and DJI Go 4 don't sync. You'll have to do the NFZ unlocking procedure and LAANC via Airmap or other app/method.
Great video!
Thanks, I appreciate you for watching.
Nice!
Very helpful. I did see your number pop up when you got the authorization response text. I’m not sure if you wanted to blur that out. I set up LAANC a while back on my iPhone but am not getting the text or emails after I hit submit. Any suggestions?
If you're submitting as a hobbyist you won't get an authorization. Only if you submit as a Part 107 operator. As a hobbyist you are just notifying. That phone number in the text message is assigned by LAANC so it's not my real phone number. You scared me there for a minute.
Well done, thanks I wonder how long it takes for an approval as a hobbyist?
thanks for the info i'm just getting in to the hobby.
You got it, thanks for watching.
great video. Can you do a video showing the sets for a hobbyist?
Great info, after 35 years of building & flying R/C. & yeah I was stupid enough to register with the FAA, for what??? anybody know???
I hear ya W.G. I hate having to pay registration for our cars every year. Hopefully it stays at every 3-4 years for drones.
@@GadgetInspector Registering a car??? Yes it's exactly the same,sorry to bother you
Can someone elaborate on what differentiates hobbyist vs 107?
www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2867564-Commercial-vs-Hobbyist-with-107
Thanks for the lesson. I think I know where that building is.
I never did get around to going out there.
The FAA just updated their website with the most current guidance/rules and regs for hobbyists and part 107'ers. www.faa.gov/uas/ Getting you part 107 certificate just opens up more airspace to you so I highly recommend it.
Gadget Inspector hi! Your video is very informative. I have registered three drones but I am not sure if I registered as a drone operator/pilot. Do you have I link where I can check?
@@arcee3535 Hi Rolly. Only part 107 operators need to register each drone to be used for commercial purposes. Otherwise, you would register one time as a recreational pilot/hobbyist. Here's where you do either: faadronezone.faa.gov/#/
Thanks
Welcome Tom ✊👊.
Thanks, very helpful, got me signed up for AIRMAP, ok back to studying for 107 exam.............. : >)
Good luck on the exam. I have to re-certify by next June.
Thanks, I need to better understand the symbols and text on the charts. I'm using KING Schools and may look at dronlaunchacademy.com if I want to indulge myself. I'd certainly like to pass on the first attempt, but even more I want to know what I know and where I'm lacking so to be a better sUAS pilot.
I used RemotePilot101, but there are good free or inexpensive alternatives out there. You can also find some good stuff on RUclips on sectional charts and weather. Tony Northrup did a pretty good one: ruclips.net/video/6_ucCKFJUCU/видео.html. You'll definitely pass the first time if you do enough prep and practice tests.
I appreciate your channel so much. One question, I just started the hobby of flying drones and will follow all rules. After watching this video I installed the AirMap app and setup my account. I believe the app has a different flow process for “fly for fun”. I’ve haven’t gotten any authorization for a flight plan. What am I supposed to do if I don’t have the 107 license? Is it any benefits on obtaining the license?
Hey AJ. When LAANC was rolled out it was supposed to include a way for hobbyists to notify ATC of flights within 5-miles of an airport. It's right in the name: Low Altitude Authorization and Capability. Well, it doesn't seem like that has been included yet. The FAA site now says: "LAANC provides airspace authorizations only" www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/. So it appears its really a system for 107 pilots right now and its not yet a viable way to provide notification to ATC as a hobbyist. You'd still need to contact ATC directly unfortunately. Thanks for the Kofi by the way, I really appreciate that! It was a nice surprise.
For DJI Drones and others do you have to do something to the drone to use this?? Another words if I was close to an airport now and my drone wouldn't start because of airspace, once I apply for the LAANC for that area how does my drone know when to start because if you're in a bad area the drone won't even turn start up??
I guess I'm not sure how that system talks to the drone so the drone will actually work?
Thank you please help
The AirMap app doesn't interface with your drone. It will not override any DJI no fly zones. However, DJI has a similar process in the DJI Go 4 app. I have been in class C airspace and got a pop up message in the app. It will ask you to enter your phone number. Once you do everything it asks you will be able to fly (depending on where it is of course).
Hey Gadget, thanks for the great video. Question, am not getting a confirmation.
Right now LAANC is primarily for part 107 operators so hobbyists won't get authorizations. You can only 'notify' of intended flights but you still have to follow FAA airspace rules. However, LAANC authorizations will be available to hobbyists on July 23rd. Here it is from the horse's mouth: www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/
I’m from GRR and love to fly my air2 around the areas.
Excellent, there are some nice spots to fly here.
This is great information! I was born and raised in GR! I do have a question. When I downloaded the AirMap. I didn't get the same setup as you did. I go through all the setup and have an account. At your video 9:48 yours shows Pilot last name, phone number, pilot first name. My app doesn’t show that. Do you have a different app? And when I completed everything to submit I don’t get a confirmation. Do need to setup an account with LAANC?
Not really sure why its different. Maybe Android vs iOS. You won't get confirmation unless you submit a flight as a part 107 operator. Otherwise you're just notifying ATC as a hobbyist. It should say flight plan submitted successful or something like that.
Anyone know about class E2? Trying to get approved through the app and the airport shows orange on the map near ROG in Rogers Arkansas but also shows a red banner and says class e2 requires ATC authorization.. direction? Thanks!
I downloaded airmap but every time I get clearance but my Mavic pro 2 will still not fly in controlled air space.
Okay I just subscribed to you. Hopefully you can answer questions sometimes at some of the other people never answer any questions. I just have a question I've just downloaded the app and for instance it came up with an advisory controlled airspace but then it says automated authorization available at or below 400 feet so does that mean you still have to file a LAANCE report or does that mean you're cleared to fly 400 feet or below?
Also in another example I pulled up Fort Lauderdale Florida , where I am going soon, and there is a 200 with an orange line over it when I clicked the box it says, "Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport class C airspace requires FAA authorization. Automated authorization available at or below 200 feet". Please tell me exactly what this means because I'm very confused.
Thank you so much
My understanding is that it is telling you that this process of automated authorization is available (and required to obtain) at 400 feet and below.....and likewise in the case where it says 200 feet or below, you are restricted to fly at or below the 200 feet limit. If you notice close to airports it will even say 0 meaning no flying at all. This is just telling you that at these limits around airports, you are able to apply for this authorization and fly within the limits it states. Make sense? This is what I am gathering. Hope this is accurate and helpful.
If you are outside of 5m radius of an airport, so no Class E airspace, do you still have to get Laanc authorization to fly in any area as a hobbyist?
LAANC is only for authorizations within controlled airspace, so you wouldn't need it otherwise.
What happens when you are in Class D airport zone and the app tells you that you can fly~100 feet but need to contact ATC. Upon contacting them, they say no flights are allowed as rules have changed since May. (I used to fly here prior to that by letting them know).
I say listen to ATC. All airports have not signed on to LAANC yet.
Does this process work the same way for red no fly zone? I have a nuclear site near by and it showed green until I got there and DJI SCREEN showed red no fly..could I use my phone to connect to AirMap for clearance? Thanks
AirMap does not interface with the DJI Go 4 app, so you would need to use the unlock feature in DJI Go 4. I would be surprised if you got it to unlock though. I'd also be surprised if AirMap doesn't show 0 and red in terms of allowable AGL. Would make for some cool shots though, but sheesh....
I be just tried it in Spain but not sure if I can trust the submissions and acceptance. But I am going to get advice . I hope it works here as I am a certified pilot here in Spain👍
Sorry but I believe this is just for US airspace.
I’m new to this laanc, so, after you get authorization from airmap you just go back to Djigo app and you are able to fly??
LAANC and DJIs no fly zones are two separate things, so if you get LAANC authorization you still might be able to fly a DJI drone. DJI does have an unlocking feature in the DJIGo4 app, but again, not integrated with LAANC.
O yeah 1st thing i did was call the F.A.A. and register Hahahaha!!!! No i mostly fly f.p.v. race drones!!! But i would like a good camera drone and when or if i get one i will take whatever test or do whatever i have to do to fly!!!! I love flying drones and it makes me sad that the f.a.a. is making it harder to fly!! Well has not effected me at all!!! But im shure i will have to do something to fly with out geting into trouble!!!! And if they try to stop people from flying. It wont be easy!!!!! I like to stay out of trouble!!! Did a lot of that when i was young!!! Now family friends and drones lol!!! Thanks 4 posting this!!!!
Don't panic bro, at least not yet. I think this system is actually a step in the right direction, but the uncertainty about how the new law will affect the hobby has folks worried. Just keep flying responsibly and having fun and don't worry about the stuff we can't control. Glad you're staying out of trouble; it sometimes finds us but it helps not to go looking for it.
@@GadgetInspector So true!!!! My wifes brother was arrested at 6am this morning!! So had to wake up get the baby ready and go get his car!!! He got charged with felony druge possession!!! Thought he was done doing heroin but i guess not!!! I know im done with all drugs and i have not had 1 drink in over 2 years!!! All i do is smoke every now and again!! And with the baby i dnt like being stoned around her!!! All i do is work come home and for fun i FLY!!!! This hobby has helped me in so many ways!!!! Im just going to keep flying safely!!! Thanks 4 everything man!!!!! I really enjoy this channel!!! You my friend are a review professional!!!!!
👍😀👍
You keep up the good work my friend. I am PROUD of you bro. Keep doing the right thing...it will definitely pay off in the long run.
I live in NC. I attempted to get approval to fly in the area of boat dock. I did the flight plan. It said something like Area D prohibited. Automated Approval coming soon. That’s probably not the exact language used but pretty close. The ceiling for the area I wanted to fly is 400. I’m just wondering if a small airport like I have here doesn’t have automated approval?
That could definitely be the case....and prohibited likely mean no go. If there was a NOTAM or TFR or something it could be temporary.
Outstanding Video! The app will not except my email address when I try to register. Any suggestions?
The only thing I can recommend Marc is to reach out to their customer support.
Do you know ..If I get approval on the FAA's Recreational Flyer Airspace Authorizations do (should) I still file a flight plan on Airmap?
If you're submitting authorization requests through the FAA DroneZone and get an authorization, you don't need to submit another one. AirMap is just one of the approved apps for LAANC. Here's the list: www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/
cool
Did I really just 👀the whole video
Greatly appreciated!
I'm not doing something right or I missed something. Right now I am a hobbyist and took a class for 107 this weekend. When I submit for approval, I get no response from Airmap. Any direction you can provide would be appreciated.
Just make sure you've selected part 107 instead of hobbyist. Follow the video and you shouldn't have a problem.
How does the property owner figure into this? Is this giving you FAA approval to fly in airspace at private property as long as you do not go on the property? You didn't say anything about if that building you want to fly at was private or public.
Hey Steve. LAANC governs USA airspace. I would say make sure you're knowledgeable about local laws and ordinances. These differ even in the same darn town. It's hard to make a blanket statement when that is the case, however, it's always best to err on the conservative side. I had a boss years ago that told me to never take anything for granted. You should check local ordinances about flying over private property before knowingly doing so. Personally, I have never knowingly flown over private property, but realistically, I may have without knowing it. Even more complicated is when you go out for a real estate shoot and have to fly over other homes in order to shoot the property you're hired for. I ask my client to notify their neighbors that there will be some guy with a drone taking photos/video of their house on X date at X time and not to freak out.
I have been working with AirMap for about five days now trying to get it to work. I'm part 107 and the app hangs on the "verify phone number" step. Which must be new as it is not in your video. Also the app would not save my number even though it grabs it off the phone and asks me to verify it. Airmap support got the number to stick but I have not received authorization text for flight two days from now. Wait and see I guess. I like the app it tells you exactly where you are in controlled airspace. Hope I get it worked out. Thanks for the video.
Hmm, I'll have to check that out. I actually haven't needed to submit a flight plan in a while, so maybe they changed some things. My approvals were always within 30-seconds or so.
@@GadgetInspector They are very helpful. They duplicated the problem on their end so I'm sure they're working it
Could you comment on mania authorization for no fly zone. I got approved, received the code, now what do I do? AirMap has to help section or instruction for how to unlock the Mavic Pro to fly with authorization code. Thanks in advance
Hey Dave. The FAA LAANC system via AirMap or other apps is not integrated with DJI's locking system as far as I know. I haven't seen anything indicating otherwise. You basically need to do both processes. Authorization through LAANC and NFZ unlocking through the DJI Go 4 app.
Please help. I did try this and my approval worked and everything but it gave me an error message saying flying with DJI is not supported for this Samsung device running Android 8.
Basically I was trying to fly with the air map app with DJI and they won't work together with Android 8. it says update to 8.1 but there is no update for my phone it's a Galaxy 8??
Please advise thanks
I'm sorry but I don't own an Android phone.
