Chandler Municipal Airport is a Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability Airport (LAANC). LAANC automates the application and approval process for airspace authorizations. Through automated applications developed by an FAA-approved UAS Service Supplier (USS) pilots apply for an airspace authorization. LAANC provides airspace authorizations only. Pilots must still check NOTAMs, weather conditions, and abide by all airspace restrictions.

Information on how to apply for an airspace authorization is available at the FAA’s UAS Data Exchange (LAANC)
