It's good for whatever you enter before submitting your authorization request. If you need to fly beyond that time fame, you'll need to submit another request.Once you have received a LAANC authorization, how long is it good for?
Where does the 12 hrs come from? I would rather see something official...
Yep! The time of the flight defaults to "Now", but you can tap "Now" to set the start date and time if you're not going to fly right away.Never understood that this was a duration of flight(s).
Like dawgpilot mentioned in another post. If you're going to do that, you might as well apply for Wide Area Airspace Authorization. I applied on a Friday and it came back approved the next Monday.Anyone tried submitting for multiple days at 12 hours per day?
You aren’t the only one. “Date and time” to me means the specific time when you intend to fly, but the second line in AirMap is for duration, not flight start time. I figured it out after using AirMap a couple of times but it’s not a great example of user-friendly design.Interresting. Never understood that this was a duration of flight(s).
I thought this was to plan a flight in the future.
I am glad I asked!
Thanks again...
While I’m not saying it’s a bad idea (I typically say a few hours in case I decide to fly longer or if I get delayed for whatever reason), if the FAA says authorizations are good for 12 hours why does it matter? The FAA grants the authorization, not AirMap, etc.If you want the authorization to be valid for 12 hours, then make sure you set it to 12 hours in Airmap (or whichever app you're using).
Can you cite your source stating that the time frames selected when submitting an authorization through LAANC aren't important?if the FAA says authorizations are good for 12 hours why does it matter?
