A source-labeled map of drone communities, AMA flying sites, FPV racing layers, and FAA-recognized safety organizations. Useful first, honest about confidence.
New directory surface
Rucking had one unusually clean source. Drones do not. A useful drone directory has to distinguish local clubs, mixed RC flying sites, FPV race chapters, safety-guideline organizations, and source networks. This first version starts with verified source layers and labels the uncertainty instead of hiding it.

Source strategy
The product pattern ports well: map, filters, pages, schema, freshness, submissions, and admin review. The data policy changes. Drone Authority cannot pretend one feed equals the whole community.
2671 FRIA records generated
Authoritative Remote ID exception layer, but a FRIA is not automatically a public flying site or active local group.
Fields: FRIA reference number, title, organization name, address, city, state, ZIP, start/end dates, polygon geometry centroid
View source2172 fixed-site records generated
Useful airspace and fixed-site overlay. It is not a social group source by itself.
Fields: site name, site ID, latitude, longitude, city, state, ZIP, ceiling, boundary, last edit date
View source2320 AMA feed rows generated
Strong seed source, but many listings are RC/model aviation clubs rather than drone-first groups. Drone relevance is labeled conservatively.
Fields: club name, club number, club URL, club website, flying-site name, flying-site coordinates, club contact coordinates
View source266 MultiGP chapter records generated
Best FPV racing layer. Public map extraction is acceptable for seeding, but production should prefer formal API access.
Fields: chapter ID, chapter slug, name, tier, latitude, longitude
View source4 recognized CBO records generated
Authority layer, not a local group directory. Useful for safety context and source trust.
Fields: organization name, official safety-guideline link
View sourceEvery source gets normalized into type, drone relevance, confidence, coordinates, official URL, and last-verified date.
A mixed RC club, FAA CBO, FPV race chapter, and user-submitted Discord should never look equally verified.
The directory links back to airspace checks and state laws because finding a field is not the same as being legal to fly.
Methodology
This directory starts with source-backed seed data, then labels each entry by what we actually know. It does not claim a local group is drone-specific unless the source supports that.
Before flying anywhere, verify the landowner or club rules, use B4UFLY or an FAA-approved LAANC app for airspace, and check for temporary flight restrictions on the day of flight.
