Live event drones in Lynchburg
This page is for event producers, promoters and venues planning a live event in Lynchburg. We fly concerts, festivals, parades, arena shows, races and brand activations, with drone feeds sent live to screens, the stream or a broadcast truck, plus fast edits for social. For homes, tourism and general aerials see our Lynchburg, VA drone videography page, and for one-take fly-throughs see our Lynchburg, VA FPV drone pilot page. Lynchburg is our second location, home of our Virginia crew.
Campus events and game days
Our crew flew FPV over Kinetic Field at EDC Orlando in 2022, and we bring that event experience to college campus events, commencements and game days here, flown with each school's approval and planned around crowds. 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. See Live drone feeds for video boards and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US.
Downtown and the James River
Festivals and events downtown and along the James River are planned inside the organizer's production plan from agreed launch spots. 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
Lynchburg Regional Airport, about 5 miles southwest of the city, has a control tower, and its Class D airspace is in effect while the tower is open, so many addresses need LAANC. We check every Lynchburg location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
Virginia law
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. Virginia state parks ban drones except commercial flights under a special use permit from the park office, so we apply well ahead of any state park shoot. Virginia lets localities regulate drone takeoff and landing only on their own property, so we launch from private property with the owner's approval or get the locality's permission.

FAQs
Do you need FAA approval to fly in Lynchburg?
It depends on the address. Lynchburg Regional Airport has a control tower and Class D airspace while the tower is open. We check every location on the FAA sectional and B4UFLY before quoting and file LAANC where it is needed.
Is your Virginia crew based in Lynchburg?
Yes. Lynchburg is our second location, so Central Virginia events are planned by our local crew rather than as a long-distance trip.
Does Virginia law limit where drones can fly?
Yes. Since July 2025 an unauthorized flight over a military base, critical infrastructure, a utility or a regulated port facility is a felony, so we plan around them.
Can you send a live drone feed to screens or a stream?
Yes. We send live drone video to LED screens, the livestream or a broadcast truck, and agree the format and cue points with your production team before show day.
What insurance do you carry?
Our standard policy is $10M liability, with optional coverage up to $25M when a venue, league or network requires it. Certificates naming your venue or production are issued before the shoot.
