Title:
The Drone Pilots Compliance Checkup - Navigating the Skies with Confidence
Topic:
Pre-flight Essentials: Mastering Airspace, FAA Rules, Weather, and any other Local Restrictions or TFRs
Date and Time:
Friday, November 21, 2025, starting at 19:00 Eastern Standard Time (16:00 PST; 17:00 MST; 18:00 CST; 14:00 HST; 15:00 AKST; 17:00 Arizona; Saturday, November 22, 2025 00:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Kevin Farrow, Melanie Folcik Barillaro
Brief Description:

Navigating the complex world of airspace regulations requires strategic knowledge and constant vigilance. Every responsible drone pilot must understand the intricacies of airspace classifications and temporary flight restrictions (TFRs). Begin by utilizing official FAA resources and specialized drone navigation applications that provide real-time airspace information.

Temporary flight restrictions demand particular attention. These dynamic zones can emerge rapidly due to various circumstances, including sporting events, presidential movements, or emergency response situations. Successful pilots continuously monitor these restrictions, ensuring they maintain compliance and avoid potential legal complications. Utilizing apps with live TFR updates can simplify this critical verification process.

Stop Guessing, Start Flying. Master the Critical Pre-Flight Checklist That Protects Your UAS Operation.

Are you a Part 107 pilot or serious recreational flyer who wants to move from compliance anxiety to operational confidence? Every successful drone mission starts on the ground. This exclusive briefing cuts through the confusing regulations to give you a step-by-step, mission-critical workflow you must complete before you ever hit the throttle.

If you don't know the essential difference between a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) and a simple NOTAM, or if you've ever felt unsure about the legal limits of your controlled airspace authorization, this webinar is your essential flight plan.

What You Will Learn:

  • The Go/No-Go Decision: Learn to quickly assess local weather, wind, and visibility against FAA minimums and your drone's operating limits.

  • Mastering Airspace Authorization: Get a clear breakdown of the LAANC (low altitude authorization and notification capability)  approval process, including how to verify your altitude ceiling and submit requests correctly for controlled airspace (Classes B, C, D, E).

  • The Documentation Deep Dive: Know exactly which three critical documents you must have in your possession (digital or physical) during any commercial operation to satisfy a spot check.

  • System Integrity Check: Adopt a professional pre-flight inspection routine, covering vital equipment checks:

    • Propeller & Motor Inspection: Identifying minor damage that can lead to catastrophic failure.

    • Firmware & Software Verification: Ensuring all components (UAS, controller, batteries) are running the current, approved versions.

    • Remote ID Status: Confirming your Remote ID is functioning properly before takeoff.

  • Real-World Compliance Case Studies: Understand common Part 107 violations and how a rigorous pre-flight process can prevent fines, suspensions, or accidents.

Who Should Attend?

  • Commercial Drone Pilots (Part 107)

  • Aspiring Commercial Pilots

  • Advanced Recreational Flyers (TRUST Certified)

  • UAS Program Managers & Coordinators
