LAANC and DroneZone are examples of systems used to obtain airspace authorization.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. They are drone models
• D. They are weather services

Answer: (A)

When you fly in controlled airspace, you must have authorization from the FAA. LAANC and DroneZone are both part of how that permission is obtained. LAANC, the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability, provides near real-time approvals by checking your flight location, altitude, and time against airspace restrictions and returning an approval if you’re within allowed parameters. DroneZone is the FAA’s official portal for accessing LAANC services and managing your authorization requests, including submitting and viewing approvals. They are not drone models or weather services, but systems used to obtain airspace authorization.
