FAA Rolls Out Automated Authorizations for Drone Flights
Methods would allow Part 107 commercial drone operators to request instant, automated authorization to fly in controlled airspace near select U.S airports.

The FAA has initially authorized two vendors—AirMap and Skyward—to begin offering methods that allow Part 107 commercial drone operators to request instant, automated authorization to fly in controlled airspace near select U.S. airports under the agency's Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) initiative at four sites. These are Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International (CVG) Airport; Lincoln Airport (LNK) in Nebraska; Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) in Nevada; and California’s San Jose International Airport (SJC). Up to 49 more airports will be added by 2018.
