We (almost) all use it, we love it, although it can sometimes be a pain in the butt to have to remember to check it, but Aloft has just announced it has passed one million authorizations using FAA’s LAANC program on its app. The company also shared trends on the use of the program over the last year by both Part 107 and recreational pilots.

Enforcing local drone rules can be extremely challenging for communities. Too often the rules are simply not presented to drone pilots broadly enough. And many a time, their compliance becomes dependent on posted signs that can be easily missed. It’s a problem that 6,600 US state parks desperately want to solve. Aloft Technologies says its new geospatial data platform, Aloft Geo Portal, can help.
