Subject: Where Can I Fly My Drone? Drone Operations in Wichita, Kansas Airspace - Safe operation of drones in the greater Wichita, Kansas area.
Speaker: Dwight Roberts
Description: Drone operations continue to grow as more uses for drones continue to be found. Wichita airspace is one of the more complex Class C airspace that exists in the US due to the numerous airports within a 20 nautical mile radius of Eisenhower Airport (formerly known as Midcontinent). These airports include one major Air Force Base and two busy general aviation fields. In addition, Wichita Approach handles traffic within a 45 mile radius of Eisenhower. The airspace around all of these airports is either Class C, Class D, or Class E.
Drones are growing in use throughout the world, and particularly in the Wichita airspace. Air traffic in the greater Wichita area includes not only general aviation, but also military aircraft, commercial, and non-commercial aircraft, as well as extensive flight training and non-commercial flights.

While see and avoid is usually the rule for manned vehicles, it is necessary for drone pilots to be aware and adhere to the rules of flying in the congested Wichita airspace.
