Streamlining Drone Operations: Botlink’s LAANC Integration
Botlink has introduced the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) feature in its automated drone flight request. The Botlink Capture app empowers users to request and obtain LAANC approvals, enabling them to conduct automated missions seamlessly from a single platform.
Enhancing Airspace Access for drone Pilots
LAANC represents a significant partnership between the drone sector and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aimed at facilitating the integration of drones into the national airspace system. This initiative allows both commercial and hobbyist pilots to request access to airspace that would typically require explicit permission from local air traffic control.
Efficient Request Processing with Botlink Capture
The Botlink Capture app simplifies the process for drone operators seeking LAANC authorization to operate in controlled airspace. When a request is submitted, the app evaluates it using various data sources, including real-time FAA maps, to inform users about the likelihood of approval. The requests are then sent directly to the FAA, with LAANC authorization typically received within seconds.
Growing Demand for Simplified Flight Operations
“We’ve noticed a significant increase in our customers seeking straightforward methods to operate in controlled airspace while adhering to regulations,” stated Terri Zimmerman, CEO of Botlink. “We anticipate that the ongoing adoption of drones for commercial purposes will accelerate the use of LAANC as operations mature.”
Empowering New Drone Pilots
The surge in commercial drone usage over recent years has led to a rise in novice pilots entering the field. Botlink Capture is designed to assist pilots of all experience levels in quickly launching their drones and efficiently gathering data.
“We are thrilled to see new pilots engaging with drones, whether for business or leisure,” Zimmerman added. “The Botlink flight app serves as an invaluable resource for any drone operator looking to streamline their flying experience.”
