The FAA has determined that the base can no longer approve recreational drone operations on the installation, including Excellence Park. The main concern with drones is the possibility of hitting a plane. According to the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, a drone should never fly above 400 feet and should never be flown within 5 miles of an airport or air base. This includes not flying drones on base. For any questions contact Douglas Winters, Chief Airspace manager at 481-6098.
