The aviation department in Vermont administers the state's aviation system plan, manages federal and state airport improvement grant programs, and coordinates with the FAA on safety, airspace, and compliance matters affecting the state's network of commercial, regional, and general aviation airports. The department also publishes the state aeronautical chart and aviation directory used by pilots operating within the state.
Pilots, airport managers, and aviation businesses in Vermont can contact the state aviation department for information about grant eligibility, safety programs, UAS regulations, and coordination of aviation development projects within the state's jurisdiction.
Drone operators in Vermont should consult both the FAA's B4UFLY mobile app and the state aviation department's drone resources before flying, as certain areas within Vermont may have state-specific restrictions near airports, state parks, or critical infrastructure in addition to federal airspace requirements.
