Regulatory notes

Flying and washing in New Brunswick

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.

  • Controlled airspace in New Jersey, Class B, C, D and surface E, requires LAANC authorization before launch, and the classification over a given address is confirmed on the FAA UAS Facility Maps and B4UFLY.

  • Rutgers University bars the recreational use of unmanned aerial vehicles and other remotely operated flying vehicles on university property, citing FAA compliance and the air medical helicopters that land at its medical center.

  • The New Jersey State Park Service prohibits operating, launching or landing a drone within all lands and waters it administers unless the Assistant Director specifically approves it.

  • 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 illicit connection ordinance bars discharging non contact cooling water, process wastewater or other industrial waste other than stormwater to a municipal separate storm sewer system, including through leaks, flows or overflows.

  • 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.
