DRONE RESTRICTIONS OVER WEST FALLS CHURCH, VA

[Robert S.]

We are trying to start a Drone program with the Falls Church City High School. Can you advise us if the area immediately surrounding the school (121 Mustang Alley, Falls Church, VA 22043) near the West Falls Church Metro station, is subject to any restrictions? Can anyone advise? Thanks. Robert S.

If you have your 107 license, you should be aware of resources to find that information. And setting up a school drone activity sure doesn't sound recreational. But, that said, b4ufly is what I use.

And no, you can't fly there. Click this link to see the restrictions.

DC Area Prohibited & Restricted Airspace​

The National Capital Region is governed by a Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) within a 30-mile radius of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which restricts all flights in the greater DC area.

The SFRA is divided into a 15-mile radius inner ring and a 30-mile radius outer ring.

• Flying an unmanned aircraft within the 15-mile radius inner ring is prohibited without specific FAA authorization.
• Experienced Part 107 and public aircraft operators with justification can file your request through the on-line Access Program (AAP) https://waivers.faa.gov

Dear eEridani,
Thanks for the info. It looks like those restrictions put the kabosh on that idea. Robert S.
