The airspace I got flight authorization is surrounding an airport that is not part of LAANC. It also has military flights in and out of there. Here is the whole paragraph concerning communication with the ATC towerFollowing up on Mavic Mac's post, under what circumstances would an air traffic controller want to be in touch with the PIC? Perhaps more to the point, how would they let the PIC know that he or she should initiate contact? Is it assumed that the PIC announces his or her flight via radio, in addition to getting LAANC approval to fly?
3. COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS
a. UAS PIC must email CEF ATCT at [email protected] the day prior to flying operations and provide the following:
(1) COA number (2) Primary telephone number of the pilot in command. (3) Schedule of flight (time and duration) (4) Location where flight will occur (coordinate and radius) (5) Altitude (6) Verify current weather (ceiling/visibility) (7) Communication requirements
b. If UAS PIC does not receive an email response before date of UAS flight operations, the Proponent shall contact CEF ATCT at 413-557-**** to confirm approval. (I deleted last four digits of number)
c. UAS PIC may be required to maintain direct two-way radio communication with ATC, and if required must comply. When necessary, the ATC frequency will be provided to operator during the ATC coordination prior to flight.
d. UAS PIC shall notify CEF ATCT immediately upon completion of UAS flight operations at 413-557-**** (I deleted last four digits of number)
