Check out the video. A whole lot easier than using a chopper. Gold Seal provides the training to Fox News remote pilots nationally.

Excellent!

That's got to be really making the traffic scene in HotLanta a lot of fun.

Awful. That's right in the center of everything. Millions of cars will be displaced for quite a while.

So how did Fox News get an airspace authorization? Or did they have a waiver on file?

And was the waiver granted to the operator? I don't see on the application where you can request for a company to have a waiver (and any operator for the company can be covered).

Education requested.

I don't have any inside info on their airspace authorizations and waivers. But at that location, they were well below the Class B. I haven't checked the chart, but I suspect they were outside of PDK's Class D and that would put them in Class G. In that case, no airspace authorization needed (although there may have been a TFR in place).
