Understanding UAS Facility Maps

UAS Facility Maps show the maximum altitudes around airports where the FAA may approve Part 107 drone operations in controlled airspace without additional safety analysis. These maps are helpful when planning flights near airports and preparing LAANC or FAA DroneZone airspace authorization requests.

Important: UAS Facility Maps do not give pilots permission to fly. Drone pilots must still receive airspace authorization before operating in controlled airspace.

For Part 107 pilots, these maps are a practical planning resource. They help identify where approvals may be faster and what altitude limits may apply near airports.
