The Drone Map: see where you can fly

The Drone Map puts everything a drone pilot checks before a flight on one free, interactive map: airspace and no-fly zones, airports and their restriction zones, FAA LAANC ceilings, national parks, ground hazards, live air traffic, wind, and thousands of drone flying spots shared by pilots around the world. No download, no sign-up.

Drone no-fly zone map

See restricted, prohibited and danger areas, controlled airspace (CTR, CTA, TMA, ATZ), military zones and temporary restrictions, coloured by what they mean for you. Zones that start above drone height are dashed, so you can tell at a glance what you fly beneath rather than inside.

Airports and flight restriction zones

Every airfield, airport, heliport and seaplane base, with its restriction circle and runway protection zones drawn the way they appear on aviation charts — including runways, elevation and surface.

FAA LAANC ceilings in the US

The FAA's UAS facility map grid shows the maximum altitude you can expect authorisation to near US airports, from 0 to 400 ft, square by square, with LAANC availability for each airport.

Drone spots near you

Browse a community map of the best places to fly a drone: photos, flight paths, the drone that flew there, and warnings about wires, birds, crowds and signal, all added by pilots who've flown them.

“Can I fly here?”

One tap checks the centre of the map for airspace, airports, FAA ceilings, parks and hazards, weather, wind and nearby aircraft, and gives you a clear answer: clear to fly, fly with caution, or don't fly here.

National parks and ground hazards

Protected areas where drones are often restricted, plus charted masts, towers, wind turbines and other tall obstacles to keep clear of when you're flying low.

Questions

What is The Drone Map?

The Drone Map is a free web version of the Drone Map & UAV Forecast app. It shows airspace, no-fly zones, airports, FAA ceilings, national parks, ground hazards and community drone spots on one map, and can check whether you can fly at any spot.

Where can I fly my drone?

Move the map to where you want to fly and tap “Can I fly here?”. It checks airspace, nearby airports, FAA ceilings in the US, parks and hazards, the weather, wind and air traffic, and tells you whether it's clear, needs caution, or is a no-fly area. Always confirm with your national aviation authority before you fly.

Does The Drone Map show drone no-fly zones?

Yes. Restricted, prohibited and danger areas, controlled airspace around airports, military zones and temporary flight restrictions are all drawn on the map, along with each airport's flight restriction zone.

Is The Drone Map free?

The web map is free to use with no sign-up, including two “Can I fly here?” checks. The Drone Map & UAV Forecast app for iPhone and Android adds unlimited checks, forecasts, live traffic and much more, with a 7-day free trial before a subscription.

Already subscribe in the app?

You can unlock unlimited “Can I fly here?” checks, live traffic, the wind overlay and map filters on the web with a 6-digit code from the app. When you run out of free checks, enter your code to unlock.

Is this map official?

No. It brings together public data to help you plan, but it isn't an authorisation to fly and can be out of date. Always check your national regulator, any NOTAMs and local rules before every flight.

Where does the data come from?

Airspace and obstacles from OpenAIP, airports from OurAirports, parks and the base map from OpenStreetMap (via OpenFreeMap), US ceilings from the FAA's UAS facility maps, live traffic from adsb.lol and weather from Open-Meteo. Spots are shared by the Drone Map community.
