B4UFLY Beta

B4UFLY provides UAS/drone operators awareness to determine if it is safe to fly.

NOTE: The Beta program has ended - you must uninstall the Beta app BEFORE installing the new application. The new app is in the Google Play Store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.faa.b4ufly2.

The B4UFLY app provides model aircraft users with situational awareness and considers the user’s current or planned location in relation to operational restrictions to derive a specific status indicator. The color and shape coded status indicators inform the user if model aircraft operation is prohibited, requires the user to take certain actions, or if there are no FAA operating restrictions other than flying safely. All model aircraft operations must always yield the right-of-way to manned aircraft.

Key features include:

- Heads-Up Status View for quick “at-a-glance” review of current status

- Map Interface to plot nearby flight restrictions

- Planner Mode - an advanced user feature to “plan” for different flight locations and times
