Before
After
ExplanationThe H71 facility serves regional business jets and medical transport (e.g., Tulsa Life Flight). While you may not always need formal LAANC airspace authorization in Class G, you are legally obligated to avoid interfering with aircraft operations. Interference with manned aviation is a federal violation. Core Requirements for 2026 (USA):Yield Right of Way: Manned aircraft always have the right of way. You must monitor for and land immediately if any aircraft approaches. Altitude Limits: You must remain at or below 400 feet (120 meters) above ground level (AGL). Visual Line of Sight (VLOS): You must maintain a direct, unaided visual line of sight with your drone at all times. Registration & Remote ID: If your drone weighs 0.55 lbs (250g) or more, it must be registered with the FAA, marked with your registration number, and equipped with a functional Remote ID broadcast module (unless flying in an FAA-Recognized Identification Area - FRIA). Safety Test: Recreational flyers are legally required to pass the TRUST (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) and carry proof of completion. How to be "Socially Accepted"Do Not Fly Near the Runway: Never operate your drone directly over the airport property or its approach/departure paths. These areas are high-risk zones for pilots.Use Official Tools: Before every flight, use the FAA B4UFLY app or Aloft Air Control to check for local Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) and airspace status.Respect Property & Privacy: The airport is managed by the Oklahoma Ordnance Works Authority. Respect all "No Trespassing" signs and local property boundaries; do not take off or land on airport property. Join a Club: If you want to fly frequently, join a community-based organization (CBO) like an AMA-affiliated club. These groups operate in designated fields safe from airport traffic.
