Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) & Drones
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and drones are subject to Federal Aviation Administration regulations, especially when operating near airports. Midland International Air & Space Port is located in controlled airspace, which requires additional authorization for drone operations.
Important Notice
Airports are no longer allowed to grant permission for drone operations. The FAA has a waiver process that must be completed prior to any UAS/Drone usage in and around airports.

All operators should be familiar with FAA rules prior to operations within the City of Midland and Midland County. Please visit these resources for guidance:
