**The headline rule.** Under **14 CFR Part 107**, UAS operators are *required* to obtain **prior authorization** before operating in any controlled airspace (Classes B, C, D, and the surface-area portions of Class E around airports). - **Exception** — non-surface Class E airspace (the far-from-airports kind). - **How to get authorization** — FAA's **LAANC** (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) system, typically via apps like Aloft or Airmap. Some airports still require a manual DroneZone request.
