Combined Waiver and Airspace Authorization Procedure

In plain language

If your flight in controlled airspace requires both an airspace authorization and an official waiver (for example, to bypass certain Part 107 restrictions), you cannot use LAANC. You must apply for both through the FAA DroneZone portal.

Requirement as structured

If you are planning an operation in controlled airspace that requires a waiver AND an airspace authorization, you must apply for both through the FAA's DroneZone.
