B4UFLY App Review: Ensuring Safe and Legal Drone Flights

As a drone pilot for two years, I have used the B4UFLY app occasionally to check if the area I intended to fly in was safe and legal. However, recently, I have been using it for every flight, and it has become an essential tool for me. The app is easy to use and usually fast and simple, but I wish it had more options like altitude and distance, especially since I don't always fly at 400 feet.

Features

• Easy to use interface
• Quick and simple operation
• Helps ensure safe and legal drone flights
• Provides information on airspace restrictions, temporary flight restrictions, and other potential hazards
• Offers guidance on FAA regulations and requirements
• Allows users to request airspace authorization through LAANC

The B4UFLY app has helped me become more aware and prepared for any future changes in regulations. It provides me with the necessary information to ensure that I am flying safely and legally. The app also helps me slow down and check the required items and anything else that helps me be safer and more aware, making my flying experience more enjoyable.

As a certified ATP and CFI, I recommend always having an aviation handheld radio when operating within Class B and D airspace. It helps to know of aircraft approaches and intentions and ATC instructions to them. Using this app to obtain authorization for your drone flight has been working excellently for me. However, at times, the app gets stuck, and I have to log out and log back in, but it's a minor inconvenience.

User Experience

The B4UFLY app is an excellent product for anyone who is unsure of any rules or regulations in the area they are preparing to fly in. The app has gotten very easy to place an LAANC request, and it seems to work well. It is an essential tool for drone pilots who want to ensure they are flying safely and legally.

Although some users have reported issues with the app, such as unsupported locations and GPS positioning, the developer has been quick to respond and fix the issues. The app is continually improving, and the FAA has made a good partnership with Aloft in creating this educational application.

Conclusion

The B4UFLY app is an excellent tool for drone pilots who want to ensure they are flying safely and legally. It provides essential information on airspace restrictions, temporary flight restrictions, and other potential hazards. The app is easy to use and usually fast and simple, but it could benefit from more options like altitude and distance. Overall, I highly recommend the B4UFLY app to all drone pilots.
