Yellowstone, wilderness and ski areas
Yellowstone National Park is National Park Service land, where launching or landing a drone is prohibited without the superintendent's written approval. The Lee Metcalf and Absaroka-Beartooth areas are designated wilderness, where the Forest Service does not allow drones to take off or land. Ski areas set their own drone rules, so we get the resort's written permission before any Big Sky flight. We keep neighbors and people on private property out of frame unless they agree to be filmed. 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.
Airspace, parks and Montana law
Bozeman Yellowstone International in Belgrade has a control tower and Class D airspace west of town, and summer jet and private traffic is heavy. Montana State Parks do not allow drones to launch or operate from public use sites unless Fish, Wildlife and Parks issues a permit. Montana law also bars interfering with aerial wildfire fighting, including with a drone, and the operator can be billed for the costs. Wildfire temporary flight restrictions can close large areas in summer and fall, and flying into one is illegal. We check every Bozeman location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
