The FlySafe Program
Empower Your Community with the FlySafe Program, powered by AirHub®
The FlySafe Program, powered by Airspace Link’s FAA-approved AirHub® Portal platform, empowers cities and communities to safely integrate drones.
Participating FlySafe communities are able to publish and disseminate airspace rules, advisories and ground risk details, and provide drone route optimization based on real-time hazards and regulations, increasing safety to all residents.
Find out how our turnkey solution helps governments publish drone rules, identify safe flight areas, and enable brand new economic opportunities.

FlySafe Program: Ontario, CA
Recognizing drones' potential but aware of regulatory barriers, the City of Ontario, CA enlisted Airspace Link's expertise in municipal drone integration, leveraging the FlySafe Program’s turnkey stepped approach. Since its introduction, Ontario has gained critical tools and training to safely harness the potential of drones and introduce coordinated drone activity into the community, implementing pilot drone initiatives across public safety, infrastructure inspection, and product delivery.
Next, Ontario has an eye on expanded services like a recreational drone park and on-demand cargo delivery zones that will help attract additional economic development.
Airspace Link's UAS Framework for Cities
The 6 Steps to UAS Readiness
Airspace Link's UAS Readiness Assessment is an essential part of our FlySafe Program, providing a comprehensive view of your communities' progress through the stages of full UAS integration.
We'll provide an assessment of your current level, and guide you through the steps to make your city drone ready.
- Understand your community's unique airspace and ground risk characteristics
- Get information about critical infrastructure, aerial impediments, and existing drone registration and certified pilots within your community.
- Receive a custom UAS Readiness Report & Roadmap, bringing clarity to complexity based on the aligned objectives and outcomes.
- Aligning departments on current use of drones and future planning and objectives critical to efficient growth and integration of systems and operations.
Step 1 - Regulation and Readiness
Understand your community's unique airspace and ground risk characteristics, information about critical infrastructure, other aerial impediments, and existing drone registration and certified pilots within your community.
Step 2 - Awareness and Activation
Increase awareness of where and when flights are happening to support safety and begin data collection for future planning.
Step 3 - Planning and Analysis
Unlike traditional aviation operating within airport jurisdictions only, the need for UAS to operate, take off, and land in local communities drives the need for additional coordination between federal, state, and local governments. Planning and analysis is required to include unique local considerations in a framework for integration.
Step 4 - Validate
After the infrastructure and policy established through the planning and analysis process are implemented, validating the approach will provide additional data and real-world examples to verify the blueprint before wide scale rollout.
Step 5- Replicate
Replicate successes of infrastructure and UAS operations confirmed in the validation stage in a structured rollout approach, advancing into new locations and different use cases.
Step 6 - Scale
To deliver on the full expected benefits of drones from the environment to social equity to the economy, drones will need to operate ubiquitously at scale across broad geographies with fully integrated airspace management capabilities
