Drone flights at Ocala International Airport are prohibited due to FAA restrictions, but permission can be obtained with a request, unless at the airport itself.
Drone operations are generally prohibited in the controlled airspace around Ocala International Airport (OCF) without prior FAA authorization, because the airport uses Class D/E airspace with protected approach and departure corridors for crewed aircraft. Recreational and commercial drone pilots must use approved authorization systems and comply with any altitude limits, time-of-day restrictions, and grid-based ceilings published for this airport. Even with authorization, drones may not take off, land, or loiter directly over airport property, runways, taxiways, or approach paths, and pilots must always yield right of way to manned aircraft and be prepared to land immediately if instructed by air traffic control or law enforcement.
