Planning your flight
Flight Requirements & Conditions
Every proposed flight is subject to safe conditions, airspace requirements, and the rules that apply at the location.
Weather & airspace
Safe weather conditions
FAA airspace requirements
Required FAA authorization, including through LAANC where applicable
Current NOTAMs (aviation notices)
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs)
Permissions & location
Property-owner permission where applicable
Town and beach regulations where applicable
Conservation-area restrictions where applicable
Park and other local launch/landing restrictions
National Park Service restrictions where applicable
National Park Service locations
The National Park Service generally prohibits launching, landing, or operating a drone from NPS-administered lands and waters, subject to limited exceptions. These property-based restrictions are separate from FAA-controlled airspace; they do not automatically prohibit all airspace over NPS property. Both applicable airspace rules and site-specific operating restrictions must be checked.
Unsuitable weather, airspace or regulatory restrictions, or authorization issues may require a scheduled flight to be postponed or rescheduled.
Have a location in mind?
Airspace / Location Check
The FAA’s B4UFLY resource provides a useful preliminary airspace check. It is not a guarantee that a commercial flight can legally or safely be conducted.
Before conducting a commercial flight, Shadowside Studio will verify current FAA airspace restrictions, authorization requirements, NOTAMs/TFRs, and applicable launch/landing restrictions.
Care in delivery
Client imagery is reviewed before delivery. Where appropriate, unintentionally captured identifiable people, license plates, or other unnecessary identifying details may be cropped, obscured, blurred, or removed.
