FAA rules require remote control aircraft operators to get permission from the airfield operator if within 3 miles of the airfield. Google could ask permission from themselves.
Google may still require FAA authorization for the drone flights as the FAA might not consider them "model aircraft"
- jedmeyers 12y agoMoffet airspace is congested for everyday drone operations. It practically shares class D airspace with Palo Alto airport and there is class C airspace for San Jose International right above it.
