Drone Safety 

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), or drones as they are often called, provide great aerial photography opportunities and are a lot of fun to fly, but they can be a safety concern to manned aircraft when operated close to airports. It is important to know that whenever you fly a drone at any altitude within 5 miles of Waukesha County Airport, you MUST notify Airport Management at 262-521-5250 or the Air Traffic Control Tower at 262-970-4777 before flying. 

Part 107 for commercial operators has gone into effect. Click here for more details.

Spring City Aviation is currently administering the initial aeronautical knowledge test required for commercial operators. To set up an appointment, please contact them at 262-547-8988.
