Abstract: The FAA's B4UFLY smartphone app will provide situational awareness of flight restrictions – including locations of airports, restricted airspace, special use airspaces, and temporary flight restrictions – based on a user's current or planned flight location. In order to maintain NAS safety in proximity to airports, air traffic control personnel would need certain basic information about a UAS operator's intended flight in order to assess whether the UAS may disrupt or endanger manned air traffic.

Short Statement: To date, more than 300,000 people have registered their UAS in accordance with the small UAS registration requirement that went into effect on December 21, 2015. Since these operators are specifically hobby or recreational flyers, and the B4UFLY app was developed specifically for hobby or recreational flight, we are comfortable with a benchmark estimate that perhaps a quarter of them (50,000) will eventually download B4UFLY.
