Commercial Drone Takes Flight In Downtown Cleveland
LOCAL NEWS: Commercial Drone Takes Flight In Downtown Cleveland
The first authorized commercial drone flight took off in downtown Cleveland Thursday evening.
Elyria based Dronewerx LLC was behind the flight.
It took a year to get authorization, but they successfully did it with approval from Burke Lakefront Airport and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Matt Mishak, the managing member for Dronewerx, reports typical commercial drone flying is only allowable in the airspace outside a 5 mile radius around an airport.
Because downtown Cleveland has Burke, that precluded drones from flying in the airspace which would be considered downtown.
