Local Ordinances
The Town of Farragut does not maintain a dedicated municipal drone ordinance. Commercial operators follow FAA Part 107 rules and Tennessee state law. Commercial takeoff and landing from Farragut town parks should be coordinated with the Farragut Parks and Recreation Department.

Restricted Airspace
- Farragut is partially within the McGhee Tyson Class C airspace. The outer ring (10 NM radius, up to 10,000 ft MSL) covers most of Farragut. The surface area (5 NM radius, 2,700 ft MSL to 10,000 ft MSL) may extend into the southwestern portions of Farragut near the Turkey Creek area. LAANC authorization is required for commercial drone operations within the Class C surface area and outer ring. Check FAA UAS Facility Maps for exact boundaries.
- Farragut's position west of Knoxville and north of McGhee Tyson Airport places it in the approach corridor for aircraft landing at TYS. While Part 107 operations below 400 ft AGL are generally clear of these approach corridors, operators should maintain awareness of low-altitude aircraft traffic.
- The Kingston Pike corridor through Farragut is a busy commercial area. While there are no specific airspace restrictions over commercial corridors, operators should be aware of vehicle traffic and pedestrian safety when launching and recovering drones in retail areas.

Farragut Aerial Imaging FAQ
Do I need LAANC authorization to fly a drone in Farragut?

LAANC authorization is required for commercial drone operations within the Class C. Check the FAA UAS Facility Maps for exact boundaries at your flight location.
Can I fly a drone over the Turkey Creek retail district?
The Turkey Creek retail district is private commercial property. Commercial drone inspections of buildings in Turkey Creek should be coordinated with property management. The area is within the TYS Class C outer ring, so LAANC authorization is required. Be aware of vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the retail area. Turkey Creek is a common location for commercial roof inspections and real estate photography.
How much does an aerial imaging cost for a residential lot in Farragut?
