FAA-certified drone pilots can legally fly near airports in Louisville by obtaining LAANC clearance. This allows flights at limited altitudes, typically 50–200 feet, depending on proximity to the airport’s runways. When drone access is denied, helicopter aerial photography is a safe, legal alternative for capturing high-resolution images.
Legally, drones can fly up to 400 feet above ground level in unrestricted airspace. However, in controlled airspace near airports, we often receive permission for lower altitudes, such as 50–200 feet.
Yes, in most cases we can fly over private property for aerial photography or inspection, as long as we comply with FAA regulations. That said, we always communicate with property owners and take privacy seriously.
No. We handle all FAA clearance requests, airspace research, and permitting as part of our service. You don’t have to worry about compliance — we take care of everything.
