Workshop Objectives:
– Understand what a UAS Facility Map (UASFM) is
– Know when and how to use them– Understand how to navigate FAA ArcGIS
Site – Understand the fundamental basics of the
Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC)

What is a UAS Facility Map?– Maximum altitude approved for flight– Controlled airspace– Below 400 feet AGL– Data updated regularly– NOT AN AIRSPACE AUTHORIZATION

Flights above UASFM altitudes:– “Further coordination”
• Flights above UASFM value, but below 400’ AGL
– Flights around/above structures above designated altitude
• Part 107.51(b): Not applicable. UASFM values are absolute
Note:– Additional safety mitigations are
helpful if applying for further coordination.

When to use UASFMs:– Preflight planning – Applying via Drone Zone– Operations in Class B, Class C, Class D,
& E airspace designated for an airport• (UASFMs do not apply in Class E
Extensions; airspace authorization not required)

How to access UASFMs:– FAA ArcGIS platform – http://udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com/– Online map viewer– Data download environment

Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC):
– Collaboration between FAA and industry
– Directly supports integration of drones into the national airspace system

What Does LAANC Do?– Access to controlled airspace near
airports– Near real-time processing of airspace
authorizations below approved altitudes in controlled airspace.

Approved UAS Service Suppliers of LAANC:
– Known as LAANC USS– Completed technical steps required
and entered into agreement with the FAA to provide LAANC Services
– FAA provides airspace data including, but not limited to:
• Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR)• Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)• UAS Facility Maps (UASFM)

Airspace Authorizations via LAANC:– Available at most FAA Facilities– Near real-time when qualifying criteria
is met• UASFM altitude• Time of day requirements• Flight restrictions
– Valid for up to 12 hours– Can be submitted up to 90 days in
advance

Airspace Authorizations via LAANC:– “Further coordination” requests
• When requesting to operate above UASFM value
• ATC has the option to approve or deny• Workload permitting• Auto-cancel within 24hrs od operation
start time
– Not all USSs provide further coordination service

Airspace Authorizations via LAANC:
– Pilots must use Drone Zone if:
• LAANC is not available• Requesting airspace
authorization in conjunction with an approved operational waiver
• ATC workload doesn’t allow for further coordination
