It is illegal to fly as a Part 107 operator in controlled airspace without FAA approval.
Here's how to request an Airspace Authorization.
Go to Request to Operate in Controlled Airspace
Select Airspace Authorization: short term (less than 6 months)
Most of the form you can fill out with your information and needs. Below is the information you will need to gain access to controlled airspace.
Where it asks for Radius enter 1 NM.
Proposed area of operations (enter what is between quotes below):
“Request to operate UAS within the confines of the FAA issued UAS facility map. Request to operate at 400 feet but will except the maximum allowed safe altitudes within the facility map to receive the authorization. Excluding the appropriate NO FLY ZONE in the immediate vicinity of the airport. “
Proposed maximum flight altitude: 400’
These are for airports in the Phoenix metro area, but you should get the idea from these for how to file where you need.
You will have to make a separate request for each airport. Use these lat/longs
Class B | KPHX 33 ° 28’ 00” N | 112 ° 6’ 00” W
Class D | KDVT 33° 44’ 00” N | 112° 7’ 00” W
Class D | KSDL 33° 40’ 00” N | 111° 56’ 00” W
Class D | KFFZ 33° 30’ 00” N | 111° 45’ 00” W
Class D | KIWA 33° 22’ 00” N | 111 ° 38’ 00” W
Class D | KCHD 33° 13 ’ 00” N | 111° 47’ 00” W
Class D | KGEU 33° 30’ 00” N | 112° 16’ 00” W
Class D | KGYR 33° 24’ 00” N | 112° 21’ 00” W
Description of proposed operation:
Before each mission, the Part 107 Pilot in Command (PIC) will perform normal pre-flight checks to include the following:
1. Selection of a safe take-off off location in a well-lit area that is free of obstacles. This space will be clear of persons and or physical structures that may interfere with the safe operation of the sUAS.
2. Inspect the sUAS to make sure the aircraft is airworthy and meet both Part 107 and FAA requirements.
3. When the aircraft is determined to be airworthy, it will commence airborne operations to a preset FAA authorized altitude. The sUAS will, at varying times, hover in place and take videos, photos and/or mapping data.
4. PIC and any crew present will maintain VLOS for the duration of the flight while monitoring for other flight traffic in and around affected airspace. The PIC will adhere to all rules and regulations under Part 107.
