The UAS Facility Maps are designed to identify permissible altitudes (above ground level) at which UAS, operating under the Small UAS Rule (14 CFR 107), can be authorized to fly within the surface areas of controlled airspace. These altitude parameters, provided by the respective air traffic control facilities, are criteria used to evaluate airspace authorization requests (14 CFR 107.41), submitted via FAA.GOV/UAS. Airspace authorization requests for altitudes in excess of the predetermined map parameters will require a lengthy coordination process. This dataset will be continually updated and expanded to include UAS Facility Maps for all controlled airspace by Fall 2017. This map is not updated in real time. Neither the map nor the information provided herein is guaranteed to be current or accurate. Reliance on this map constitutes neither FAA authorization to operate nor evidence of compliance with applicable aviation regulations in or during enforcement proceedings before the National Transportation Safety Board or any other forum.

The FAA LAANC Grid Zero Ceiling layer was developed for users who may need to quickly assess whether an object falls within a zero max ceiling grid from the FAA's UAS Facility Map Data.
This dataset represents active recreational flyer fixed sites (commonly referred to as flying fields) that are established by an agreement with the FAA. The fixed sites depicted here are located in controlled airspace two or more miles from an airport. At these sites, recreational UAS operations are authorized up to the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) facility map (UASFM) altitudes. If you fly at the fixed sites depicted in this dataset within controlled airspace, you must adhere to the operating limitations of the agreement, which is available from the fixed site sponsor.The FAA currently is upgrading LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) to enable recreational flyers to obtain automated authorization to controlled airspace. The FAA is committed to quickly implementing LAANC for recreational flyers. The FAA also is exploring upgrades to DroneZone to enable access for recreational flyers. Until LAANC is available for recreational operations, the FAA is granting temporary airspace authorizations to operate at certain fixed sites (commonly referred to as flying fields) that are established by an agreement with the FAA. For fixed sites that are located in controlled airspace two or more miles from an airport, operations are authorized up to the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) facility map (UASFM) altitudes. The FAA is reviewing fixed sites located within two miles of an airport and will make individualized determinations of what airspace authorization is appropriate. Aeromodelling organizations that sponsor fixed sites, regardless of their location within controlled airspace, can obtain additional information about requesting airspace authorization by email at UAShelp@faa.gov. During this interim period, you may fly in controlled airspace only at authorized fixed sites. The list of authorized fixed sites is available on the FAA’s website at www.faa.gov/uas and will be depicted on the maps on the FAA’s UAS Data Delivery System, which is available at https://udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com. Agreements establishing fixed sites may contain additional operating limitations. If you fly at a fixed site in controlled airspace, you must adhere to the operating limitations of the agreement, which is available from the fixed site sponsor.As a reminder, existing FAA rules provide that you may not operate in any designated restricted or prohibited airspace. This includes airspace restricted for national security reasons or to safeguard emergency operations, including law enforcement activities. The easiest way to determine whether any restrictions or special requirements are in effect as well as the authorized altitudes where you want to fly is to use the maps on the FAA’s UAS Data Delivery System, which is available at https://udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com, and to check for the latest FAA Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs). This information may also be available from third-party applications.The FAA will provide notice when LAANC is available for use by recreational flyers.Alternatively, during this interim period, the FAA directs recreational flyers to existing basic safety guidelines, which are based on industry best practices, on its website (faa.gov/uas): • Fly only for recreational purposes • Keep your unmanned aircraft within your visual line-of-sight or within the visual line of sight of a visual observer who is co-located and in direct communication with you • Do not fly above 400 feet in uncontrolled (Class G) airspace • Do not fly in controlled airspace without an FAA authorization • Follow all FAA airspace restrictions, including special security instructions and temporary flight restrictions • Never fly near other aircraft • Always give way to all other aircraft • Never fly over groups of people, public events, or stadiums full of people • Never fly near emergency response activities • Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcoholYou also should be able to explain to an FAA inspector or law enforcement official which safety guidelines you are following if you are flying under the exception for limited recreational unmanned aircraft operations.Please do not contact FAA Air Traffic facilities for airspace authorization because these facilities will no longer accept requests to operate recreational unmanned aircraft in controlled airspace.Please continue to check faa.gov/uas on a regular basis for the most current directions and guidance.
This dataset consists of UAS flight images from three sites along an elevation and precipitation gradient within Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed collected between June 4 and July 9, 2019. The lowest elevation site ('wbs1', 1,425 m) was vegetated by shrub steppe dominated Wyoming big sage (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis). Vegetation at the middle elevation site ('los1', 1,680 m) was shrub steppe dominated by low sage (Artemisia arbuscula). Shrub steppe at the highest elevation site ('mbs1', 2,110 m) was dominated by mountain big sage (Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana) and Utah snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus utahensis). A MicaSense RedEdge 3 sensor mounted on a DJI Matrice 600 Pro UAS platform was used to collect multispectral imagery of each site. The drone was flown by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 certified remote pilot between June 5 and July 9 2019. All flights were completed within two hours of solar noon. The RedEdge is a broadband multispectral sensor: blue (475nm), green (560nm), red (668nm), red edge (717nm), and near-infrared (840nm). The RedEdge sensor was radiometrically calibrated using a reflectance panel before and after each flight. A DJI Phantom 4 with the stock FC330 Red Green Blue (sRGB) camera was flown over each site to collect imagery at a finer spatial resolution to assist with training and test data for vegetation type classification.Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: UAS Imagery and Location Data - SCINet.File Name: Web Page, url: https://app.globus.org/file-manager?origin_id=904c2108-90cf-11e8-9672-0a6d4e044368&origin_path=/LTS/ADCdatastorage/NAL/published/node424632/Folder containing imagery (.zip) and location (.csv) data.

For example: For Model Aircraft: · Comply with 14 CFR Part 101, Subpart E NOTE: These provisions require model aircraft operators to notify any airport operator and air traffic control tower within 5 miles of the intended area of flight. For All Other UAS Operators: · Comply with a Public Aircraft Certificate of Authorization or Waiver (COA), or · Comply with 14 CFR Part107, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or · Comply with Section 333 Exemption and a Certificate of Authorization or Waiver (COA) NOTE: Public and civil UAS operators flying under the provisions of a COA or 14 CFR Part 107 may need to secure further airspace authorizations or waivers in order to conduct the proposed flight operation in controlled airspace, which may overlap with one of the TFRs defined by NOTAM FDC 7/7282 and this website. In those cases, these operators should follow the pre-existing procedures outlined below. A. Non-emergency requests for UAS airspace authorizations and waivers must be submitted using the regular process as follows: · 14 CFR Part 107 requests for airspace authorizations and waivers must be submitted to the FAA at https://www.faa.gov/uas/request_waiver/ · Section 333 Exemption holders may request a site specific COA at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/uas/portal.jsp · Public aircraft operators without an existing authorization to operate must secure a public COA athttps://ioeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/Welcome.jsp B. Emergency requests for UAS authorizations/waivers for missions that directly support significant and urgent governmental interests (e.g., active national defense, homeland security, law enforcement, and emergency operations missions), which cannot be supported by the FAA’s routine authorization/waiver processes should be referred to the SOSC at (202) 267-8276 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? If you have any general questions regarding UAS operations, please refer to the following FAA webpage: https://www.faa.gov/uas/ , or contact the FAA by email at uashelp@faa.gov or by phone at (844) FLY-MY-UA. If you have any additional questions regarding the TFRs defined by NOTAM FDC 7/7282 and this website, please contact the FAA SOSC at (202) 267-8276. Disclaimers The restrictions depicted on this site reflect temporary flight restrictions issued for national security reasons at select U.S. Federal facilities. There may be additional temporary flight restrictions that prohibit UAS and manned flight in effect in your area. See https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html for additional information on flight restrictions that may be in effect in your area before operating your UAS.

A COP indicates the point where a frequency change is necessary between navigation aids, when other than the midpoint on an airway, to receive course guidance from the facility ahead of the aircraft instead of the one behind. These COPs divide an airway or route segment and ensure continuous reception of navigational signals at the prescribed minimum en Route IFR altitude. The Changeover Point data is provided as a geospatial vector file format and depicted on Enroute charts. Changeover Point data information is published every eight weeks by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration-Aeronautical Information Services. Current Effective Date: 0901Z 12 Jun 2025 to 0901Z 07 Aug 2025
This file contains Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data in support of Notice to Airmen 0/0367 SECURITY SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS (SSI) FOR SELECT SPORTING EVENTS. This NOTAM replaces Notice to Airmen 7/4319 SECURITY SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECT SPORTING EVENTS to clarify ATC authorization of transitioning flights.Each record identifies a sporting event venue that meets the criteria specified in NOTAM 0/0367. The qualifying event locations are defined as any stadiums or other sporting venues having a seating capacity of 30, 000 or more. Times of use or active times are not included. The data consists of the visual geographic center point of the venue locations, with other supplemental info (see data dictionary attached). The data will be updated on a 28 day cycle concurrent with ICAO AIRAC effective dates. Aeronautical Information Services welcomes any comments, suggestions and inquiries regarding this information.

Current Effective Date: 0901Z 07 Aug 2025 to 0901Z 02 Oct 2025The Radials and Bearings data are provided as a geospatial vector file formats and depicted on Enroute charts. Radial represents the magnetic bearing extending from a NAVAID facility. A Bearing is the horizontal direction to or from any point, usually measured clockwise from true north, magnetic north, or some other reference point through 360 degrees. It may also include the distance from the facility. Radials and Bearings information is published every eight weeks by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration-Aeronautical Information Services.
Pending Effective Date: 0901Z 12 Jun 2025 to 0901Z 07 Aug 2025ClearanceThe Clearance dataset provides information about the highest terrain or obstacle elevation within a quadrant or bin on a chart. Clearance values can be used to determine the lowest recommended altitudes that can be flown within a bin or quadrant when taking terrain and obstacle data into account. Depending on the type of clearance and location of the bin, additional buffers may be used in the calculation. The quadrant or bin sizes vary from product to product. Clearance information is published every 56 days by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration – Aeronautical Information Services.Types of clearance data include:Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude (OROCA)OROCAs are depicted on the Enroute (IFR) chart series. They include a 1000 foot vertical buffer over the highest terrain or obstacle feature in non-mountainous areas and a 2000 foot vertical buffer in designated mountainous area within the United States. These values include a horizontal buffer of 4 NM in all directions outside of the bin.Off Route Terrain Clearance Altitude (ORTCA)ORTCAs are shown on the Enroute (IFR) chart series. ORTCAs are depicted for charted areas in Mexico and the Caribbean that are located outside the U.S. Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). ORTCAs include a 3000 foot vertical buffer over the highest terrain or obstacle feature. These values include a horizontal buffer of 4 NM in all directions outside of the bin.Maximum Elevation Figure (MEF) – Future EnhancementMEFs are depicted on the Visual (VFR) chart series. MEF values include a 100 foot buffer over the highest obstacle feature and a 300 foot buffer over the highest terrain feature in each bin, and are then rounded up to the next 100 foot value. There is no horizontal buffer included in the MEF calculation.

The UAS Facility Maps are designed to identify permissible altitudes (above ground level) at which UAS, operating under the Small UAS Rule (14 CFR 107), can be authorized to fly within the surface areas of controlled airspace. These altitude parameters, provided by the respective air traffic control facilities, are criteria used to evaluate airspace authorization requests (14 CFR 107.41), submitted via FAA.GOV/UAS. Airspace authorization requests for altitudes in excess of the predetermined map parameters will require a lengthy coordination process. This dataset will be continually updated and expanded to include UAS Facility Maps for all controlled airspace by Fall 2017. This map is not updated in real time.
