Indoor events and venues
Our crew flew an indoor micro-drone fly-through of the Tempo by Hilton hotel in Times Square, through its lobbies and rooms. Old Town hotels, restaurants, offices, Carlyle and National Landing buildings, venues and new developments are good subjects for interior films. For indoor events and galas we film recaps, and for larger shows we send live drone feeds to the stream or screens. See Live drone feeds for video boards and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US.
Flying in the DC Flight Restricted Zone
Nearly all of Alexandria lies inside the inner 15-mile ring of the Washington, DC Special Flight Rules Area around Reagan National Airport, also called the Flight Restricted Zone. Outdoor drone flights there are prohibited without specific FAA authorization, which includes TSA security vetting, takes time and is not guaranteed. LAANC cannot approve these flights, and recreational flying inside the ring is not allowed at all. We do not take on an outdoor Alexandria flight unless that authorization is in hand, and we tell you up front if a shot is not realistic. Flying directly over an open crowd is only allowed when the drone and the operation meet FAA rules for flying over people, so otherwise we keep flight paths over the stage, closed areas and open lanes. Fully enclosed indoor flights are generally outside FAA airspace rules, so we fly one-take fly-throughs with the owner's approval; see indoor fly-through tours.
Federal sites, parks and Virginia law
Mount Vernon sits under a prohibited area, Fort Belvoir is a federal no-drone area, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway is National Park Service land, where launching or landing a drone is prohibited without the superintendent's written approval. Since July 2025, Virginia law makes an unauthorized drone flight over a military base, critical infrastructure, a utility or a federally regulated port facility a felony, so we stay off them unless the operator authorizes the flight. When a project needs open-air aerials, we can often film comparable scenes outside the 15-mile ring, in the outer part of the Special Flight Rules Area or beyond it, where Part 107 flights are allowed under FAA rules. We check every Alexandria location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
