Steps
Log into faadronezone-access.faa.gov with Part 107 remote pilot credentials
Note the waiver application workflow is migrating to the newer Aviation Safety Hub while airspace authorizations (non-LAANC) remain in classic DroneZone
Select the specific 14 CFR Part 107 section(s) to waive (e.g., night ops, operations over people, BVLOS) and describe the proposed operation
Attach a Concept of Operations (CONOPS), risk assessment, equipment specs, and crew qualification/training documentation showing an equivalent level of safety
Submit and monitor status; processing commonly runs 90 days for straightforward waivers and well over 180 days for complex BVLOS requests
Respond promptly to any FAA requests for additional information to avoid resetting the review clock
Known gotchas
There is no FAA fee for a waiver application, but incomplete safety mitigations are the most common reason for rejection or long delays
A waiver is operation-specific, not a blanket authority — expanding scope later requires a new or amended application
The dual-system transition (classic DroneZone vs. Aviation Safety Hub) means the correct portal depends on whether the request is a waiver or an airspace authorization
