Virginia Tech Drone Park

The easiest way to fly on campus is to use the Drone Park. The football-field-sized facility gives students, researchers, employees, and members of the community a place to explore UAS operations without the constraints of registration, certification, or specialized training.  

• Read the protocol.

To access the park and schedule flight time:  

• Check for open time on the Drone Park calendar (coming soon!).
• Email VTDronePark@vt.edu with your name, organization, number participating, and requested date/time. 
• Complete the one-time orientation briefing; email VTDronePark@vt.edu to sign up. Review materials are available here. 

Commercial and third-party operations will have additional requirements.
