How soon before the new Aloft (Air Control) version will be available to use ?
I fly the Mavic 2 Pro and hoping this simplifies things for me. I don't know why I struggle so much with getting the drone up in controlled airspace, even with a LAANC approval through Aloft (Air Control).

It's available now. I filed for approval and it took 12 hours to be approved for class E2 Airspace

Does this new enhancement for submitting "Further Coordination" request relate to lead-time? I submitted a bunch yesterday online and they still don't allow you to submit one for Further Coordination less than 72 yours in advance. Maybe I am reading this new feature wrong?
