Drone Buddy
Finding a good place to fly can be hard, especially in a big city. Drone Buddy’s crowdsourced flying site map exists so pilots can share launch spots with one another. We review every submission before it goes live, because we want high-quality, useful data for the community.
To give your site the best chance of approval, please follow this guidance:
- Submit at least one real photo of the proposed flying spot, taken by a drone or a phone. Sites must be publicly accessible.
- Do not submit irrelevant photos such as personal items or selfies. Those will be rejected.
- Do not submit a private home. Imagine ten drone pilots showing up there tomorrow.
- Include nearby airports, local rules, codes, or other restrictions you know about.
- Describe access: parking, fees or tickets, and the best launch spot.
- Say whether the site is racing-field or FPV friendly.
- Select the correct site attributes on the submission screen (park, beach, RC field, waterfront, and so on).
We do not send individual notifications when a submission is rejected.
The rule of thumb is simple: submit information that would help another drone pilot.
Thank you for helping grow the Drone Buddy community. Have a safe flight.
