As a sUAS remote pilot in command, what does Luke need to do to request permission to enter Class B, C, or D airspace?

To request permission to enter Class B, C, or D airspace as a small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) remote pilot in command, submitting a request via DroneZone or the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) is the appropriate procedure. LAANC provides a streamlined and automated process for sUAS operators to obtain real-time airspace authorizations from the FAA. By using LAANC, operators can quickly receive approval to operate in controlled airspace, facilitating safer integration of drones into the national airspace system.

DroneZone is another platform that can be utilized for authorization requests, and it allows remote pilots to submit manual requests when LAANC is not available. However, the LAANC system is designed specifically for efficiency and speed, making it the preferred method for many sUAS operations in controlled airspace.

The other options involve methods that are either less efficient or not applicable for the specific task of requesting airspace entry as a remote pilot. For instance, directly calling the control tower may work in some situations, but it is not the standardized procedure for all sUAS pilots, and relying solely on manual requests may lead to delays in receiving authorization. A waiver from the FAA is unnecessary when operating within the
