Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC)

What is LAANC?

LAANC, or Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability system (L.A.A.N.C.), allows U.S. commercial drone operators to obtain automatic permissions.

Does DroneBase participate in LAANC authorizations?

LAANC authorization is available for DroneBase Pilots and is powered by AirMap, an approved LAANC UAS service supplier.

How does it work?

DroneBase Pilots can apply for automated, digital approval to fly in certain U.S. controlled airspace using the DroneBase App. When available, LAANC approval will appear under "Mission Details". Please applying for approval well in advance of your flight date.

Once you request and get approved via AirMap, AirMap will send DroneBase the unique "LAANC Authorization Number" and show it on DroneBase.
