- Drone Talk Ep3 with Mark Colborn, Member of The FAA's Drone Advisory Board discusses how and why to use the "B4UFLY" app before you fly your drone to see if you are in legal airspace. And, how to get a LAANC clearance in restricted airspace if posable. Its easier than you think!
I get many requests about which products I use to film my videos.
Below is a list with links, happy filming!

Real eye opener with all this info. I'm just starting out and never even considered the responsibility involved. Thanks for doing this!
Thanks Patrick!
Informative.. but still need more step by step app usage (more app on screen rather than just watching you guys talk). New drone owner here and still intimidated to leave the ground. But thanks for the video
Very good point John, I’ll make a short video soon, like the title says this was just “Drone Talk” thanks for the input
Thank you for the video.
Love this post guys! Am always looking for more to share with others and prospective future flyers who are thinking of flying. I live near an Air Force Base, and the color changed today to a yellow area. I do use B4UFLY all the time. How to get more details to questions will be nice. Enrolled to get my Part 107 thru Pilot Institute. Thanks for the help.
Thank You James 👍🏼🍺😎
Your welcome Max!
This was very informative 😎
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching
This is great, thank you. One clarification: the FAA UAS web page for TFRs and the FAA UAS web page for B4UFLY both state that the B4UFLY app *does* show TFRs. (The UAS TFR page also has a link to the TFR List page that can be searched by Center and state.)
Yes, you do have to check the TRF’s. Wish there was a way to have it on the B4U FLY app. You can still get in trouble if you don’t because it dosnt Geofence Your drone like airspace
@@b4ugo Thanks!
I'm new to drones. Is Air Map the same as Air Control? The only Air Map I could find was Air Map Beta, which had a lot of problems loading. What I find discouraging is to drive to a public park that is five miles away, only to find out I'm in a controlled airspace, and no matter how many steps I go through, I can't get authorization and my drone's propellers won't engage.
Great Information. Every drone flyer should watch this video
I love that app before you fly have that on both of my phones to my brother to put it on his phone and he don't even have a drone yet cuz he's playing on buying one and I told him he must have this on his phone
Yeppers, your in Germany, right? Interesting that it works there also. Good to know. Thanks Nick
Still hard to understand on the app. I’m leaving for San Francisco in a week and would like to get some footage. A lot of red over there. But still not understanding. I’m new to this.
Thanks for the video, I'm coming to the US for a trip in few days with my Mavic Mini, I wanted to get some causal shots, I understand I dont need to register it as its under 250g, but from my understanding if I'm in a zone that needs a LAANC, I'll need to register the drone to use the app to get that LAANC to fly under 150ft feet? Or can I get a LAANC without registering the drone? Thanks!
great question, yes, you will need to enter the number to get a LAANC but its only $5 for 2 years, looking forward to seeing how that changes after remote Id kicks in, thanks for the question
I put my gps point on a runway and it said i could fly lol. Clearly i cant fly over or from an active runway lol. No drone zones do show up.
Some small airports are not reported, but im sure that would still be a problem with a plane in sight.
Is there anyplace in the app to register with your Ph #, email, name, etc to receive a text? Or do you submit that when requesting a LAANCE
Pretty sure you do all that when you set up the account on B4U FLY
Hi i have a question i think i made a big mistake regarding the app on be4ufly im about to register my drone on the app but i think i click the NOTIFY & FLY and how can i cancel that i need help im so scared im a new to drone i have a SMALL UAS CERT , and TRUST CERT, idont want to get A ticket or charge or sued from the FAA or FEDs for not canceling the app after 60 mins i need help to cancel that or it will automatic to cancel it thank you and its a great video
you dont need to cancel a LAANC, if you never use it, it just goes away, many times I will get one the day before because I know ill have internet problem in that area, but then its rainy or to windy and I never go. No problem. Thanks for being a responsable Drone Pilot!
Where do you go to read TFRs, and can you recommend a good dictionary of FAA terminology for new drone operators?
To the FAA drone zone, also there you will find a 88 page handbook that has a glossary
@@b4ugo thanks!
Do you need/should you get LAANC authorization just to be safe if you're in the middle of a field somewhere with no restrictions?
No, if your in class G with no, NOTAMS or TFR’s! (Temporary Flight Restrictions) sometimes they have to put those up, like if the President is in town.
0:28 lol
Using the app
I live less than 1000 feet feet from a No Fly Zone
But that’s to be expected
I live next to the
Bluegrass Army Depot
Yes, I live right in between two restricted air spaces. DFW has one of the most crowded airspace’s in the nation
So I think I got a question I had, answered here.
I can fly my fat drone legally, for recreation, without a PART 107 licence as long as I register the drone for 5 bucks. Do I have that right?
yes sir, and it last for 2 years. What are you flying?
Hi I have a question that I’m very frustrated with. I’m a part 107 drone pilot, I photograph commercial properties. Today I was in a zone close to the airport, I went in B4UFLY and I could request LAANC up to 100 feet so I did. I have a mavic 2, but when I power up my mavic, it tells me that I’m in a no fly zone and cannot take off. Ultimately I was unable to take off even though I have authorization. There were no TFRs in the area. What am I supposed to do in this situation and why does the mavic map not match the B4UFLY map? How can I force the drone to fly because I know I have authorization. I tried to self unlock but to no avail I couldn’t get that to work. Client is probably upset with me because there was another unit in this complex who got pictures done and it had drone photos, yet I could take off. It’s embarrassing and makes me look amateur, but makes me wonder if that photographer broke the rules. Why can I not take off?
Two things, one, did your phone have internet connection? It has to have it to proceed with the clearance. Second, the LAANC system has been glitchy lately, a couple of weeks ago it was down all day. Sorry for your troubles. I used to carry a Autel with me if I ever ran into trouble but it’s been a long time since it didn’t work. Please let me know and thanks for watching!
DJI has their own geo-locked maps and coordinates as well that you have to unlock through them and authorization from their site and app. Their restrictions are similar, but not the same as the actual FAA ones. So basically, you have to get LAANC approval and then provide it to DJI to get approval from them for your drone too.
I'd like to know when a CCP based company started being the defacto FAA replacement.
Seems they are now the Air police in the USA and NOT homeland China!
This is correct
Does this apply to Canada or just USA?.
Just the US, Canada has stricter regulations than the US. Its on on thier website.
I am hobbyist flying fixed wings. Can’t care less for drones. Do you have any advice to become BVLOS compliant ?
Sorry, you can only fly BVLOS with a waiver which is pretty hard to get from the FAA. Once remote ID kicks in, it should be a little easier. Of course your fixed wing will need a Beacon then also.
@@b4ugo yes that is what I was afraid of. It seems that to remain a hobbyist we would either commit more time and resources to become complaint, fly under 254g or stay under the radar. :(
They also will have FRIA’s which you will not need a beacon, most AMA hobby airfields will have a FRIA established on them
B4ufly app looks pretty good. Thank you for the introduction. But now I'm thinking about what I could do with a 250 lb drone. . Isn't 250 lbs coincidentally the weight limit of an manned ultralight?
Not Sure About that, lol, thanks for watching!
who is flying micro drones
I fly one over my driveway and the weight of a simple FAA reg ID sticker affects it's flight.
KIDS can no longer have fun.
Isn't it over 249 grams? And definitely not 254 lbs, lol.
I was thinking Part 103 Ultralight rules. If an ultralight is under 254 pounds empty weight it doesn't require a FAA aircraft registration #!
Clear as mud. This guy is typical Gov, STOOGE.
Why thank you very much Aloels!
