Safe Drone Flying Spots Survey

Overview

Built for GIS 4690 at the University of Denver. A Survey123 form records recommended drone launch sites from personal flight history and field notes, including hazards at each site. All 14 sites sit in Class G airspace with no LAANC grid. The results are published through a read-only public view layer, a web map, and an Instant App with a sidebar for browsing the sites.
