Verizon's Skyward has introduced Airspace Intelligence, a drone airspace map that provides airspace data, LAANC access, and ground intelligence that includes 3D views of key structures, transmission lines, and more than a million vertical obstacles.
“Showing airspace is important, but it’s only part of the picture," said Mariah Scott, president of Skyward. "The more intelligence that is available to understand how an area will affect the flight, the less risk a pilot has in the field.”
Key data for drone pilots
In addition to airspace information, the following data available for pilots' situational awareness:
- Vertical structure obstacles (over one million structures identified from the FAA and FCC databases)
- Major power transmission lines
- Airports
- Runways
- Heliports
- U.S. and Canadian National Parks
- Stadiums
- Hospitals
- Schools
- Pedestrian walking paths
Skyward Airspace Intelligence is part of a complete workflow that enables pilots mitigate weather, environment, and business-specific risks, the company says.
