Aloft’s New Tool to Connect FAA Airspace with Local Drone Rules

By: Ishveena Singh May 11, 2022

As of 11 May 2022, Aloft Technologies launched a new free tool, Aloft Geo Portal, a new geospatial platform that publishes airspace and ground-rule advisories to Aloft data network. This includes B4UFLY. Aloft believes this tool can close the gap between FAA airspace rules and local ground rules for operating drones throughout the  country. Aloft CEO and Founder, Jon Hegranes talks about how this tool can increase information awareness among the industry and drone pilots and in like manner increase compliance everywhere. Hegranes’ states, “ We’re connecting the dots between drone operators, local governments, and comprehensive rules of operations to the largest and most active drone flight data network.”
