Our FlySafe program, powered by AirHub® Launch platform, is an FAA-approved Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) UAS Service Supplier that offers the most sophisticated pre-flight risk assessment and situational awareness tools, as well as automated FAA-approved LAANC approvals to fly in local controlled airspace (under 400') in just two clicks. 

What is LAANC and FlySafe program?

LAANC, which stands for Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability, is a partnership between the FAA and private industry to safely integrate small drones into the national airspace. All Part 107 and recreational drone operators require FAA LAANC authorization before an operation can take place in controlled airspace. Our FlySafe program offers LAANC authorization in just seconds, making it easier than ever to operate your drone safely and legally.
