Airspace confusion

What about apple tree bay? There's a good anchorage there I could practice landing from 'land'.

Oops. I think I meant North Beach area...but it seems like it's in the 5 mi radius?

You'll need to get laanc approval,but it's easy through Kittyhawk

You could go over th Perkins pier and there is a lot of space there,also the boardwalk,the launch ramp at the coastguard and even by the skate park,of course if you live by Apple tree bay then do it there,have fun,maybe I'll see you sometime

Is Kittyhawk the B4u fly app or Airmap? I'm getting these all confused-but I dont' wanna get arrested either!

It's ok,b4u fly used to be a stand alone and kittyhawk was only available to 107 ,kittyhawk is now in the be b4u fly app.

I installe B4Ufly and Airmap and UAV on my phone. So the B4Ufly also can do the authorizations somehow? I'm not in restricted airspace where I live so it always shows "good to go"

If you needed to,you would use the kittyhawk in the b4u fly app for authorization

Nautidawg · Jan 25, 2020

So does the B4Ufly app go the authorization part as well? TIA

Kittyhawk is within the b4u fly app

Yes,it's still within the 5 mi.radius of btv

Ok gotcha! That's what I thought. Fiddling with this I can't seem to find the auth area 'within' the app

It doesn't prompt to the kittyhawk process,or ask you if you want authorization

In the b4 app click on the 3 lines in upper left,scroll to get laanc

Nautidawg · Jan 25, 2020

Ok so that just promoted me to get another app?

Or when you open the b4u app it shows a pin on your location then scroll up until you see the little box. for get authorization,check that and follows directions, it will ask you a bunch of questions that you need to check and select till the last one,then select altitude,time and maybe move the paralelogram pts. around for the area you want to fly in,hope this helps

I put a 'fake' pin down in burl waterfront and all I can get to are the yellow warnings. Nowhere to actually seek authorization so I guess B4Ufly is just a location type app for seeing whether or not it's restricted etc
