How to get authorization to fly in class d airspace as a recreational flyer

Currently you only have 2 options (and maybe only 1 depending on your location):

1) Wait for LAANC to become available for Hobby Flights
2) Fly at an existing location that is authorized by the FAA

Don’t fly in controlled airspace (Classes B, C, D, and E) without FAA authorization

Classes B, C, D, and E are controlled airspace. The FAA has created different classes of airspace to reflect whether aircraft receive air traffic control services and to note levels of complexity, traffic density, equipment, and operating requirements that exist for aircraft flying through different parts of controlled airspace. These airspace classes are usually found near airports.

Before flying in controlled airspace, you must request authorization through the FAA’s online LAANC systemusing an app like AirMap or one of the other apps listed here. Since the LAANC system is currently only available for commercial pilots, the FAA is only allowing hobbyists to fly in Class G airspace or authorized fixed sites located within controlled airspace. The FAA will provide notice when LAANC is available for hobbyists.

Note: A current list of authorized fixed sites can be found in this spreadsheet or on the FAA UAS Data map(represented as blue dots). When flying at a fixed site in controlled airspace, you must adhere to the operating limitations of the fixes site’s agreement. See the fixed site’s sponsor for more details.
