Do states hold authority on airspace over the FAA? What can one do against state attempting to control airspace
Today’s episode is brought to you by Drone U In-person Mapping Bootcamps. Join us for our three-day boot camp plus one-day Flight Mastery Training in beautiful Colorado. We will be introducing and flying a variety of data acquisition types followed by discussion and instruction on how to process the acquired data. From Pix4d Mapper to Pix4d React, to Drone Deploy and Optelos. Students will go through a total of 7 exercises to master the workflow for various deliverables. The goal is to map and build models of this training’s location. Join us today !!
On today’s show we discuss about states continuing to regulate airspace operations over the FAA and plan to pass regulations.
Our question for today is from Ryan who is referring to Montana’s recent attempt to regulate airspace in Montana and if states hold authority over the FAA. Thanks for the question Ryan. We address this continuing issue of states attempting (and potentially failing) to controlling airspace. We discuss past instances and cases of states attempting to regulate the airspace and eventually failing with the FAA ensuring that they continue to control airspace. We discuss what pilots can do in such scenarios and how they can be advocates of ensuring right authority is maintained for pilots to fly consistently in the US airspace.
