So, I passed my Part 107 exam and got my temporary license, with PENDING for the Certificate No. I'm trying to apply for a LAANC authorization using AirMap and KittyHawk and am running into a wall -- neither of the apps are allowing me to make the request. I created a flight mission in AirMap, but it's saying it's in Class D airspace and no authorization is present. But I don't see any capability to actually request authorization (the grid has a 100' ceiling, so I should be able to request one here). I was hoping to get some aerial shots of our church softball league's playoff game tonight, but if I can't get the LAANC request pushed through, I'm kinda grounded... I think I'm missing something. I was wondering if it's because my drone is registered for hobby use at the moment. Do I need to de-register it, the re-register under Part 107 on the FAADroneZone site first? Can the registration transfer between Hobby and Part 107, or do I have to actually re-register it, even though I'm only a year into my 3-year registration period? Or is there some other configuration thing I've got to do in AirMap and KittyHawk to enable the LAANC requests to go through? Does anyone have a guide/cheat sheet for the rest of the administrative steps I need to take to transition from hobby flyer to Part 107 certified? Thanks! -matt

Hey all, I went through DPGS last year, prior to LAANC rolling out, and now I've got a Q - If I (a 107 cert holder) am planning to fly in an area where LAANC approval is available, do I need to also call/notify nearby heliports and airstrips, or are they able to "see" my flight info from LAANC, just like a towered airport?

Hi all, In the attachment you can see the blue polygon of my planned flight area (about 4NM from the airport). Skyward flight planning indicates that I am just outside of Class D airspace (Circle). I am just getting used to these LAANC grids and wanted to confirm that if I am outside of Class D airspace it is okay to fly without any FAA permission even though I am within the LAANC grid. Is this correct? Unfortunately Skyward is not offering on-demand authorization at this location as of today. Thanks! ClassD_LAANCGrid.pdf

Hey all, my name is Sean. I work for a national engineering firm. Over the past year I've taken the initiative to start a drone service in our firm. I am currently the only Part 107 Certified Pilot in the company. I currently fly an Inspire 2 and will be getting an Inspire 1 for thermal imaging in the near future. I am looking for any advice on streamlining FAA Airspace Authorization (understanding LAANC is not available here yet but hoping for early 2018), as a lot of our work doesn't allow me to plan as far in advance as the FAA would like. Hoping to get some advice to questions as they arise. Thanks! -
This recent blog post by skyward shows how they see instant approvals happening. https://skyward.io/today-laanc-tomorrow-utm What's great is that it looks like there will be an option for pilots to use the free version of their platform to make these requests. yeah!
