+ What regulations do I need to follow when I fly my drone in the US using Botlink/LAANC?

Drone pilots planning to fly under 400 feet in controlled airspace must receive an airspace authorization from the FAA before they fly. LAANC automates the application and approval process for airspace authorizations and is available to pilots operating under the Small UAS Rule Part 107 or under the exception for Recreational Flyers.

To qualify under Part 107, you must register your drone and hold a Remote Pilot Certificate

Recreational flyers must take The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) before they fly.
