The FAA and Kittyhawk have collaborated in order to create a new version of the B4UFLY app. The B4UFLY app is an easy way for drone users to be informed about airspace restrictions before they fly. When using the platform, people can open the app which detects the user's location. From there the app can inform users of restricted airspace around them. Users will be presented with three potential alerts, including"Good to Go," "Warning," and "Do Not Fly."
The new iteration of the app is able to utilize a number of the Kittyhawk features including airspace controller, flight restrictions, and authorizations and guidance. Another important tool is the Dynamic Airspace function, which allows users to be informed on live updated flight restrictions.
