Local Knowledge of Chicago Airspace

A Chicago location can bring airspace questions, especially near O’Hare and Midway. Dan handles the airspace approvals required for projects near both airports.

If your site is near either airport, include its location when you request a quote so airspace requirements can be part of the conversation. Approval is not a guarantee that every requested flight can take place.

A Direct Conversation About Your Project

You know who is accountable: Dan Gierke, owner and pilot. Share where the project is, what you need to see, and any questions you have about the flight.
