B4UFLY Integration B4UFLY provides situational awareness to recreational flyers and other drone users.

Recreational (44809) LAANC Integration As a FAA designated UAS Service Supplier UASidekick allows the hobbyist drone pilot to submit flight plans to the FAA for immediate approval in controlled airspace at available airports.

I’ve been using the UASidekick app for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best tools out there for drone pilots. The interface is incredibly user-friendly—everything is laid out intuitively, making it simple to navigate whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just getting started. One of the standout features for me is how fast and seamless it is to get LAANC authorization when flying in controlled airspace. What used to be a bit of a hassle with other tools is now a smooth, efficient process that takes just seconds. I’m always confident knowing I can get the clearance I need without any delays. Overall, the app is extremely well put together—solid design, reliable performance, and features that actually make flying easier and safer. UASidekick has definitely become an essential part of my flight planning toolkit. Highly recommended!

According to the FAA all B4UFLY providers shall not charge recreational drone pilots and this app make you pay for it.

I don’t understand what’s going on with drawing flight areas on this app. I tap to define the points, then nothing. No errors and none of the buttons work. Frustrating!
