Flying and washing in Camden
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
The Battleship New Jersey on the Camden waterfront requires an operator to hold all necessary FAA permits, authorizations and waivers, obtained through FAA DroneZone and LAANC, and to confirm current flight restrictions first.
Drone use within the waters and land of the Battleship New Jersey is prohibited unless a request is received ten days before the flight and approval is issued in writing.
Philadelphia International Airport, across the Delaware River, operates Class B airspace.
New Jersey preempts county and municipal drone rules that are inconsistent with state law, but a public landowner may still set take off and landing rules on property it owns.
New Jersey's model municipal ordinance bars the spilling, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater that causes pollutants to reach the municipal separate storm sewer system, and exempts residential car washing but not commercial wash water.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the New Jersey page. See also where drones need permits.
