Well there is no such thing as "filing a flight plan" for UAS flights. That terminology and procedure is for manned aircraft. If you are planning in Class B airspace, you need to:Hello, new to the forum. I have a client that is asking about filing a flight plan. I have not been asked this before, so I was hoping for some clarity. The flight will take place in Class B airspace.
Thanks
Thanks for the response.Well there is no such thing as "filing a flight plan" for UAS flights. That terminology and procedure is for manned aircraft. If you are planning in Class B airspace, you need to:
Once you have obtained authorization, make sure you fly only in the area, time, and altitude specified in the request. Be safe!
- Have your Part 107 license, or be flying as a hobbyist only at an approved club field.
- Look at the VFR sectional charts and facilities maps to determine if you can fly in that specific area at all. If you can, then determine what is the maximum allowed altitude.
- Apply for and receive authorization from the FAA. Depending on the airport, this should be available through LAANC. Don't apply for any altitude above the maximum altitude shown in the facilities map.
- If necessary for that specific area, obtain a DJI NFZ unlock so that your UAS will be able to start and fly.
You can fly anywhere as a hobbyist as long as it is not in restricted airspace for right now later LAANC will be made available for hobbyist which should make things better I hope
Another question, if the class b airspace has a floor of 7000msl and ceiling of 12000msl, do I still need to get authorization from the FAA. Thanks again.Thanks for the response.

@BigAl07 on first one I was trying to say as hobbyist you can fly in other places besides a AMA field on the second one your dead on meant to say controlled airspace DuhA couple of points to clarify:
1) He stated it's "for a client" so the whole aspect of HOBBY is out the window at this point...
2) Ummmm I think you're mixing the term "Restricted" with "Controlled" airspace. LAANC won't help with Restricted airspace.
