By law, hobbyists who want to fly an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), more often referred to as a drone, within five miles of an airport must notify the airport operator and the air traffic control facility (if there is one) prior to flying. A new app will tell users about current or upcoming requirements and restrictions in areas of the National Airspace System (NAS) where they may want to operate their unmanned aircraft system.
