To operate in controlled airspace, pilots may have to apply for a LAANC airspace authorization. This can be
done using a variety of methods from phone applications. Pilots can apply through the open sky application or
through the UA sidekick application.
If pilots cannot gain an autonomous airspace authorization through LAANC, they will have to file for an
airspace authorization through the FAA portal. Reasons to file for WAAS authorization:
1. Need to fly higher than altitude limit
2. Need to fly in a “zero grid,”
3. Airport is not LAANC activated.

In order to gain airspace authorization for a given area, pilots will need to apply through the FAA’s online portal.

After pilots create a login, which you should already have at this point, you can apply for airspace
authorizations. Once you login, you will be taken to your dashboard. Scroll down to see 107 Airspace
authorizations and click “Create 107 Waiver/Authorization.”
