The B4UFLY App is an app by the FAA designed to help people fly drones legally. One of its key features is the map, which shows where you are and if you are within 5 miles of an airport so you know if you have to contact the flight controller at the airport. What it looks like is down below.

Bald Eagles are an example of an animal that drones can negatively affect. Drones crash into birds, and have scared birds away from babies.

Our of our solutions for Animal Allies is for the FAA’s B4UFLY App to merge their map with a map of bald eagle’s nests, at least where maps are available.

Before and after maps are shown merged together below.

The petition is another part of the solution: to have drone companies warn consumers about flying near animals. Other facts related to that include that bear’s heart rates increase up to 400% when a drone is in sight, and drones have cause a herd of bighorn sheep to stampede, separating mothers from their babies. Now do you think it is important?
