My understanding from the FAA website is that a recreational drone flyer can get authorized to fly in a Class D zone through LAANC. I just went into Aloft to get authorization. On the home screen it says Iam in class D space for Danbury Airport (which participated in LAANC) KDXR, and it says LAANC auto approval available up to 400 ft. When I go to the LAANC page to submit for approval, I choose recreational request and it says "Not eligible for authorization over 0ft." If I indicate I want to request Part 107 Commercial, it says I can get authorization up to 400 feet.
So only commercial pilots can get LAANC authorization in Class D airspace? Can I get a commercial license if I am not doing commercial work so I can get authorization?
