Do I Still Need a Waiver to Fly in Controlled Airspace?

Today’s question is about waivers. Do you need a waiver to fly in controlled airspace? Is it okay to rely on applications such as Airmap and Kittyhawk in order to determine controlled airspace?

Our caller, Jonny from San Diego has just gotten his Part 107 certification. He wishes to procure a waiver in order to fly near an airport in controlled airspace. Does he need to file an airspace authorization in order to do so? Which regions are currently able to use the instantaneous authorization system? We also discuss if it wise to rely on applications such as Airmap and Kittyhawk. And, finally Paul has a great tip which will help you further your drone business. Thanks to Jonny from San Diego for the question. Fly Safe!
