What does Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) provide to remote pilots?

• A. Gives remote pilots a near real-time way to access controlled airspace
• B. Extends the maximum allowable altitude for all drones
• C. Delays airspace access until the next business day
• D. Replaces the need for remote pilot certification

Answer: (A)

LAANC provides near real-time access to controlled airspace for remote pilots. It electronically coordinates authorization requests with the FAA, using up-to-date airspace data so you can fly in designated controlled areas around airports within approved vertical and time limits. This streamlines approvals, letting you operate more predictably and safely without long waits, as long as you stay within the authorized parameters. It doesn't extend the drone's maximum altitude, it doesn't delay access to the next business day, and it doesn't replace the need for remote pilot certification.
