February Drone Club Session

The February Meeting of the Drone Club was held on Monday, February 24th at the CATC (Creative Arts and Technology Center) in Room 104 (Bluebonnet) that started at 7 PM. 

Dennis Brooks and Steve Garvin Presented on "Safe & Legal Flying at Robson Ranch”. The meeting agenda included the following... “Safe Flying Checklist”, “Robson Ranch and FAA controlled airspace”, “Low Altitude Notices”, “Obtaining FAA permission to fly”, and “Q&A” 

We had a full room of Robson Drone Attendees that became very interactive in learning more about FAA Drone Rules.  With an increasing amount of Robson Ranch, Denton falling under the Denton Airport Control Zone it is imperative that drone operators here be aware of the requirement to file a Low Altitude Flight Notice, the LAANC, if they live in the control zone or fly into the zone.  You cannot legally fly in your own yard if you live in the control zone and do not file a LAANC.  With a half dozen new people at the meeting, there were a number of questions on required documentation.
