DoomMeister lead me to the SkyVector digital charts and I have been studying them. My question is there is an option called Drotams. Shows virtually all UAS no fly zones and more. One thing it shows is UAS Operating Areas to include the airspace control center and a NOTAM number. My question is...

Issue may be that you created a new account using the email you used previously. Did you try using your old account info? A solution would be to use another email for the new account.

I know this is an old post but I use a card reader that has a lighting connector to plug directly into the iphone.

Ethernet cable would have been faster if you were using WiFi.

Yes I have downloaded it and have read CH 15 twice. Using CH 15 and the Skyvector site, I understand SUA much much better. I now also understand that restricted airspace may not start at the SFC. The margins on the sectional charts provide more information than I ever imagined. I still do not...

Controlled airspace is not the issue. My questions concern Special Use Airspace.

@DoomMeister Once again thanks for your help. This brings me back full circle to my original question. The sectional chart for A-292 has a caution of high volume of aircraft from surface to 17,500'. Aloft has an effective time frame and a level of Low Altitude Only. What does Low Altitude Only...

Thank you, this is the best description I have I seen thus far. I opened Skyvector and saw something I had never heard of before, DROTOMS. I did not realize the FAA was putting out NOTOMS specific to drones. Learning sectional maps is my goal, thus my questions.

I am going to throw another question out there. Is all Special Use Airspace off limits to drone flying during the effective times as described. Example SUA A-292 has effective times Sunrise to 0100 Monday-Friday, Sunrise to Sunset on Saturday. That would leave only Sundays for Rec pilots to fly...

I have emailed the FSDO and also the contact email on the FAA sUAS web site. Crickets so far from either.

At the very least put it in the drone and make sure the auto discharge is set to 10 days. I have numbered my batteries and keep a log for the number of charges and any anomalies that may occur while flying that battery. I also know the average flight time of each battery.

What is a hacked drone? If you mean the DJI Fly Safe software I have never installed it so I do not have to get DJI's permission to fly. FAA has not mandated this geofencing software.

Choctaw is Class D. Aircraft fly through R-2915A all the time, there are private airstrips within this SUA.

I do have Aloft and use it regularly for LANNC. It has this area in Yellow not like the the red areas that are prohibited. FAA's Viualize it web site indicates it is Class G. That is what adds to the confusion. Some SUA's list effective times, does that mean one can fly outside those times.

Thank you for your reply. I do not disagree with your response however, while trying to understand this is what I find on the FAA web site: Restricted or Special Use Airspace Restricted or "special use" airspace is for certain areas where drones and other aircraft are not permitted to fly...
