ADU 0969: Where Can I Fly My Drone? Should I Rely on Drone Apps for Checking Airspace?

In today's show, we share how you can ACCURATELY check airspace. Can you rely on apps like Skyvector and Kittyhawk for checking airspace?

Our caller, Dave from Michigan, is confused, and we don't blame him. He is attempting to figure out if he can fly his drone near the South Haven Airport in Michigan. Dave referred to multiple drone apps like Kittyhawk, Airmap, and even UAV Forecast - and each app depicted airspace differently. What should Dave do now?

To answer Dave's question, we first discuss if drone apps are reliable sources for checking airspace. Are some drone apps more reliable than others? We reveal why it is essential to refer to the original source of information. You will also learn the importance of learning HOW to read airspace. At Drone U, we have CFI Ted Wilson teaching the nuances of airspace in his own unique and extremely useful way.
