So now we have to ask for authorization not just notify?

Are you flying Part 107 or hobby/recreation?

Authorization is required for Part 107 flights in controlled airspace.

The LAANC system provides a method for automated authorizations through authorized apps.

This is only for part 107 pilots, unless something has changed. The new system is LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization Notification Capability) and it only works at some airports.

What airport?

 

[codydoerfler]

Yes, I’m flying Part 107, airport was BJC

Some of the beta testing is being done in Colorado.

I downloaded Airmap, figured out how to use it and just for the hell of it did 2 107 flights just within BJC's airspace. The approval process took about one minute.

I would not call it beta, this is wave 2 of LAANC

It is a bit more than some...

Glad to hear it worked!

Curious about this.
My airport COE is listed in wave 2 just like the above mentioned BJC, but when I click on the automated authorization link under advisories it just takes me to the Airmap website. Am I missing something?

Noob, I figured it out.

I am trying to study for my 107 to take real estate photos in Ohio, not far from an airport. I am still getting used to all of the terms and the tools you guys use to make things easier.

But am I understanding correctly that this is a real time authorization system where you don't have to wait up to 90 days for approval if you want to take some low altitude pics/video? Real time as in, within a few minutes?

Almost real time

Wow this is great news! Unfortunately my region is the last one to be phased in, but that will still make everything better when it does.

Thank you!

@Twodumbdogs sorry to necro-post, but what specifically did you figure out? Sounds like you still have to call BJC as a hobbyist ...

Yes, you do still have to call as a hobbyist. The LAANC system for now is just for Part 107 authorizations. Sometime in the future LAANC will be available for all. Don't hold your breath, though.

Thank you. Truly it seems like it’s just a good idea to get 107 certification so you can use LAANC and of course actually understand all these rules/regulations!

I still have to call even with a LAANC authorization at some airports.
