A drone-operator disclosure form identifying no-fly zones, TFRs, and restricted airspace that affect a shoot, with proposed alternatives for real estate and proptech clients.
Last updated
The No Fly Restricted Area Disclosure is a pre-shoot document issued by a licensed FAA Part 107 drone operator to a real estate or proptech client when airspace research reveals a legal flight restriction at the subject property. It records the restriction type and authority, documents the impact on the contracted aerial scope, proposes lawful alternatives, and captures the client's formal election on how to proceed. The form creates a timestamped, signed record protecting both parties before any flight is attempted.
The No Fly Restricted Area Disclosure should be used any time pre-flight airspace research uncovers a TFR, Class B/C/D airspace boundary, National Park or stadium no-fly zone, Department of Defense restriction, or local municipal ordinance that prevents or limits the aerial services originally contracted. It is also appropriate when an authorization request is pending or has been denied and the operator needs a documented client election before rescheduling or substituting ground-based alternatives.

This Disclosure is issued by your licensed Part 107 drone operator to the Client in connection with aerial imaging services at the Subject Property. It formally documents the pre-flight airspace research conducted and ensures all parties understand legal flight limitations before work begins.
Before every flight, operators are required to assess the airspace. This section captures exactly what was found — including the **restriction type** (TFR, Class B/C/D airspace, National Park boundary, stadium no-fly zone, or municipal ordinance), a plain-language **restriction description**, and the **applicable authority** (FAA, National Park Service, Department of Defense, etc.).
It also records whether authorization has been requested, is pending, or has been denied — giving both parties a clear, timestamped record.
Not all restrictions ground the entire shoot. This section specifies:
Rather than simply saying "we can't fly," this form documents constructive alternatives the operator has developed, which may include:
Fees are handled transparently. The form records the original contracted fee, the adjusted fee if alternatives are accepted, and a clearly stated non-refundable deposit retained for pre-flight research costs if the Client cancels. A per-instance rescheduling hold fee can also be specified.
The Client formally selects their preferred course of action — accepting alternatives, canceling, delaying for a waiver, or proceeding with an authorization filing — and releases the operator from liability arising solely from the legal flight restriction.
