About this app

B4UFLY is the simple way for drone operators to check airspace and local advisories before taking flight. Stay compliant and contribute to safer national airspace by making yourself aware of advisories and restrictions in the airspace and local advisories around you.

With B4UFLY, you simply open the app and select where you want to fly to see the status of the airspace selected, as well as details regarding surrounding advisories. B4UFLY is provided through a partnership between the FAA and Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk). Learn more at https://aloft.ai/b4ufly/

We have also added new crowdsourcing functionality for people to contribute to our global advisory and compliance database. You can flag areas for review and submit new locations for addition to B4UFLY advisories from within the app, or you can also visit this page to submit areas for review at https://aloft.ai/b4ufly-data-submission-form/.

If you have a general question or comment about UAS or drones, please send us an email at [email protected] or call us at 844-FLY-MY-UA (359-6982) 8am – 4pm ET Monday – Friday.

Horrible app. It constantly states psst"Your pin is out of view" I know Captain Obvious. This app is designed to be used in real time, not for planning. I want to use the app to plan where I can fly, so I don't go there and get told that I can't; that's a waste of time, money, gas population, etc. Also the Map is very basic, there is no detail. Google Maps has better detail than this. They should partner up with Google Maps, that would be way more efficient. Needs improvements NOW!

Unfinished app? The app refuses to load a view of any map. When I type in an address I get a message saying "unsupported location". There seems to be no settings button in the app anywhere. This app feels half baked and does not seem to provide the information of where it it safe to fly. It is a shame since there are 2 airports within a 30 minute drive from my location.

The new version is SO much better than the old version. In fact, they're really just completely different apps. However, I have to take off a star because it has some annoying things, like the pop up telling you your pin is out of view. Also, it doesn't support LAANC, so you can't get airspace authorization from this app. You have to use Airmap or Kittyhawk to do that. So, in most cases I will still use Airmap or Kittyhawk, but this is finally a good alternative.
