Today’s question is about flying over Indian Reservation land. Specifically, do Native Americans hold the sovereign right over Indian Reservation land AND airspace?
Our caller, Mike from Albuquerque, has asked us an interesting question today. Since New Mexico is home to many Native American tribes, Mike is wondering if drone pilots face greater restrictions while flying over Indian Reservation land.
In this show, first and foremost, you will learn whether or not you can fly over Indian Reservation land. If you can, what are some dos and don’ts that you SHOULD observe? Do you need to seek permission from the Navajo nations before you set flight? How do you procure legal proof showing your eligibility to fly? For all this, and much more, tune in to our latest show. Thanks for the great question, Mike. Fly Safe!
