Aerial Data Services for Green Bay Projects
Green Bay is an industrial city - paper mills, food plants, the port, and Lambeau Field all pull drone work through inspection, progress monitoring, and environmental surveys. The Fox River and Lake Michigan shoreline, plus the annual EAA AirVenture TFRs, are the two rules that shape the flying season, while flat terrain and strong LAANC coverage keep most jobs straightforward.

FAA Part 107 Requirements
Part 107 is the federal baseline for paid drone work in Green Bay. Each operator in the network holds an active Remote Pilot Certificate, verified at onboarding.
State Drone Laws
Green Bay sits under Wisconsin's statewide UAS framework (WI Stat. Ch. 114; WI Stat. 114.05; WI Stat. 942.10; WI Stat. 165.87; Wisconsin Act 342 (2017); FAA Part 107); local permitting in Brown County is what varies site to site.

Local Ordinances
Green Bay layers a few municipal rules on top of FAA Part 107. Commercial flights over industrial zones (port, packaging, mills) need site-manager permits, and shoreline or Fox River-front work is best coordinated with the economic-development office. Night operations require an FAA waiver, and standard property-consent and quiet-hours norms apply downtown. Brown County parks add their own flight restrictions.
Restricted Airspace
- Class C shelves at GRB (surface to about 4,000 ft), ATW, OSH, and MKE - a Mode C transponder and LAANC or ATC clearance apply once you are inside the outer area.
- EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (annual, July) generates major TFRs around OSH with shifting boundaries and altitude caps - any work in that window needs a fresh NOTAM read.
- Lambeau Field and the Fox River riverfront carry low-altitude sensitivity near critical infrastructure. Keep routine flights under 400 ft AGL and coordinate ahead of event days.
- Lake Michigan and the Fox River shoreline are open water - Part 107 applies and beyond-visual-line-of-sight over water needs a waiver.
- No permanent restricted zone sits over the city, but the port and stadium corridors are the two areas that get extra scrutiny.
Airports in the area: GRB (Green Bay-Austin Straubel International) - ICAO KGRB, Class C airspace, roughly 5 miles west of downtown. The county commercial hub with LAANC. Widely regarded as one of the best non-hub airports in the country., ATW (Appleton International) - Class C, about 40 miles north. Regional commercial and cargo service for the Fox Valley., OSH (Oshkosh Airport) - Class C, about 55 miles west. One of the busiest general-aviation and airshow fields in the US - the annual EAA AirVenture fills the surrounding airspace each July., MKE (Milwaukee Mitchell International) - Class C, roughly 90 miles south. Major hub used for longer commercial routing.

Insurance & Liability Protection
Pilot Insurance Required
Every operator matched to a Green Bay project carries active liability insurance — minimum $1,000,000 general liability, verified from the certificate before the pilot joins the network. Green Bay layers a few municipal rules on top of FAA Part 107.

FAA Part 107 Verified
Each pilot's Remote Pilot Certificate is checked against the FAA Airmen Inquiry before they can serve Brown County bookings. Expired certificates are flagged automatically.
Equipment Documentation
Pilots register their airframes and sensors (RGB, LiDAR, thermal, multispectral) so Green Bay requests route to crews with the right payload for the job.
Site Safety Coordination
Pilots coordinate with your site superintendent for safe operations on active Green Bay construction sites, including flight plans that avoid worker areas and equipment zones.

Green Bay Aerial Imaging FAQ
Are there restrictions flying near Lambeau Field?
The stadium and its approach carry low-altitude sensitivity, and event-day TFRs can pop up on game days. Coordinate with the facilities team, keep work under 400 ft AGL, and read the NOTAMs before any flight in that corridor.
How does the Fox River affect drone work?
The river and Lake Michigan shoreline are open water under Part 107. Shoreline and riverfront commercial flights should be cleared in advance, and any beyond-visual-line-of-sight run over the bay needs an FAA waiver.
What does a LiDAR survey cost here?
Industrial-scale LiDAR in Green Bay runs roughly $2,000 to $6,200 depending on the site - mills, port terminals, and riverfront areas sit at the high end. Turnaround is typically 7-14 business days.
Is there seasonal airspace to plan around?
Yes - EAA AirVenture Oshkosh each July is the big one, with temporary TFRs around OSH. Winter brings lake-effect snow and low ceilings that cut the practical flying window, so crews front-load survey seasons.
Who issues permits for commercial drone work?
Site managers handle industrial and port zones, and the economic-development office covers downtown and riverfront projects. Brown County parks require flight approval for any work in the park system.
Are there affordable options for small properties?
Real-estate photography is the entry point - packages start around $200-250 with 24-48-hour turnarounds. Local crews bundle aerial imagery with inspection work for residential and light commercial jobs.
