UASidekick is a subscription based airspace awareness tool that ensures safety in the NAS for both manned and unmanned pilots alike.  The app allows remote pilots to easily file flight plans that integrate seamlessly with FAA Flight Service and the FAA LAANC system.

*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.

*Commercial (Part 107) LAANC Integration*
As a FAA designated UAS Service Supplier UASidekick allows the drone pilot to submit flight plans to the FAA for immediate approval and for further coordination in controlled airspace at available airports.

*NOTAM UOA Request*
UASidekick was developed to facilitate FAA reporting compliance for those required to submit a NOTAM to fly. UASidekick works with Flight Services to provide a streamline process which allows waiver holders and COA operators, who are required to submit NOTAMs, to submit NOTAM UOAs through the UASidekick app. The app also provides email confirmation of the operation submission for record retention.

*Community Search & Rescue (SAR)*
These request are internal request that allow only UASidekick users to submit and see other users request for SAR. These request do not replace the need to call 911 or your emergency service provider but will allow the community of UASidekick users to see a need and offer assistance.

*Privacy Request (PR)*
The Privacy Request was developed by UASidekick with the general public in mind as a way to communicate, to other UASidekick users, their desire for additional privacy. These PR request are internal and unique to UASidekick which allow the RPIC to recognize locations that individuals (Pilots and General Public) have requested more sensitivity when flying over and around. (Privacy Request are voluntary compliance request internal to UASidekick only and may not be enforced by any regulatory agency or law enforcement entity.)
