On Monday November 21st, 2016 we officially submitted our first request for a waiver which would allow us to operate within the Class C airspace radius of TF Green airport in Warwick Rhode Island. The purpose for the waiver request is to shoot photography and videography for a commercial real estate property listing that a client just got.
Since the FAA just started accepting requests for waivers for Class C as of October 31st, we are curious to see what the turnaround time will be in terms of even getting an acknowledgement of the request, let alone approval.
We found the online application form to be quite straight forward – if you’re looking to apply for a waiver, just know that you’ll need your Part 107 license number, and the registration ID for the UAS(s) that you plan to fly, along with the latitude / longitude coordinates for the area in which you would like to fly. Other than those pieces, you are asked to fill out basic information about yourself, when/where you want to fly, why you want to fly there, and any other information that further explains why and how you’ll be able to fly there safely if you are granted the waiver.
We will update this post as things progress!
Fly Safe, Fly Responsible!
