Drone Consulting

Operating drones in New York City requires more than just piloting skills; it demands expert knowledge of local laws, FAA regulations, and NYPD permitting. The city’s dense airspace, strict Avigation Law, and complex approval process mean that every operation must be carefully planned and legally authorized.

We help drone operators, production companies, engineers, and businesses navigate NYC’s drone compliance process from start to finish, ensuring your flights are safe, legal, and efficient.

Very Strict Rules for flying in NYC

New York City’s “Avigation Law” prohibits take-off and landing of drones within city limits without official authorization. Most of the city sits inside Class B controlled airspace, requiring FAA waivers and careful coordination with air traffic control.

Since July 2023, qualified drone operators can apply for NYPD Drone Permits, but the process is complex.

That’s where we come in, as known operators, we have direct contact with the NYPD Drone department.
