Airspace authorization can be obtained electronically.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only during business hours
• D. Not possible for recreational flights

Answer: (A)

Airspace authorization for flying a small UAS in controlled airspace is obtained electronically through the FAA’s LAANC system (and related electronic platforms). This lets you request and receive near real-time permission to operate near airports via compatible apps or portals, without needing a phone call or in-person approval. It’s available to recreational flyers as well as commercial operators where LAANC coverage exists, and it generally operates around the clock in covered areas. So, the statement that airspace authorization can be obtained electronically is correct.
