Flying a Drone at LaFortune Park

# Is it Worth Flying a Drone?
LaFortune Park's sprawling green spaces, varied terrain, and activity areas could provide interesting aerial footage. However, it's essential to consider both the visual appeal and the regulations that come with flying a drone in such a setting.

# Legal Considerations
- Local Regulations: First, check if Tulsa County or the City of Tulsa has any specific ordinances that restrict drone flights in public parks, including LaFortune Park. Some parks have local rules that either ban or limit the use of drones to designated areas or times.
- FAA Regulations: As with any drone flight in the United States, you must comply with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. This includes registering your drone if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) and adhering to guidelines that ensure safety and privacy.

# LAANC Authorization
- Airspace Classification: LaFortune Park doesn't lie very close to major airports, but the exact airspace classification (Class B, C, D, E, or G) it falls under will determine if you need LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorization to fly your drone.
- Class G Airspace: If the park is in Class G airspace, you generally do not need LAANC authorization to fly your drone.
- Controlled Airspace: If the park lies within controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, or some E airspaces near airports), you will need LAANC authorization. Check the FAA's B4UFLY app or the AirMap app to understand the specific airspace classification at LaFortune Park.

# Additional Considerations
- Privacy: Flying over areas where people are present can raise privacy concerns. Avoid flying over groups of people, and always respect the privacy of others.
- Wildlife and Environment: Be mindful not to disturb wildlife or the natural environment in the park.
- Park Events: Check if there are any scheduled events or activities that may prohibit drone use on certain days.
- Weather Conditions: Always fly in safe weather conditions to avoid losing control of your drone.
Before heading out to LaFortune Park with your drone, it's a good idea to:
- Contact the park administration or Tulsa County Parks and Recreation Department for any local rules or concerns.
- Review FAA guidelines and use tools like B4UFLY or AirMap for airspace classification and real-time LAANC authorizations.
Following these steps will help ensure a safe and legal drone flying experience at LaFortune Park.
