ROUTE HAZARD BRIEFING

Plan, inspect, simulate.

Enable route drawing, tap the launch point and waypoints in order, then generate a source-aware briefing.

Draw at least two points to create the simulated route profile.

01

Find the mission area

Use your device location or move and zoom the map to the planned operating area.

02

Inspect the grid

Tap a colored grid to see its published ceiling, associated airport, airspace and LAANC status.

03

Get authorization

The map is informational. Use an FAA-approved LAANC provider or DroneZone when authorization is required.

IMPORTANT

A grid altitude is not an authorization.

UAS Facility Maps show altitudes the FAA may authorize without additional safety analysis. They do not give permission to fly. Verify current restrictions, weather and notices, and obtain the required authorization before operating in controlled airspace.

Authorization resources

Airspace grids and known obstacles come from FAA public services. Route elevations are sampled from USGS 3DEP, while building footprints, heights and floor counts come from OpenStreetMap. Results are informational and not survey-grade.
