KVNY/KBUR Drone Traffic

Post by djrisc »

Hello,
So I often time fly around the KVNY/KBUR area since it's where I live. I have noticed that sometimes I get routed around the arrival corridor for Burbank as there is an area where larger commercial jets are landing. This airspace intersects in an interesting way with KVNY and so it makes it fun to fly for me.

I haven't noticed really any commercial drone traffic in and out of KBUR? Is this something that could be added easily? I think it's makes for really interesting VFR flying.

Living literally under this airspace I can tell you that there are commercial passenger jets flying that route in to Burbank every 5-10 minutes.

Just thought I'd ask?

We don't provide any drone traffic into controlled airports because then you risk getting landed on. All of the drones depart and arrive at uncontrolled fields. I agree that it would be very cool to have that, but again- there's just no way to control what they do. Also, you'd never hear them so it would just be a visual advantage.

aha! Ok, I never actually thought about that.

It all makes sense now.

Thanks for the clarification!

Can you get the drones to start announcing on CTAF then. Dang inconsiderate drones. :lol:
