DRONES/UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (uas)

Per FAA guidelines, please see the following information regarding operating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)/Drones near airports. 

FLYING NEAR EUGENE F. KRANZ TOLEDO EXPRESS AIRPORT

Drone operators should avoid flying near Toledo Express because it is difficult for manned aircraft to see and avoid a drone while flying. Remember that drone operators must avoid manned aircraft and are responsible for any safety hazard their drone creates in an airport environment.

Please note the 180th Fighter Wing, located at Toledo Express, remains a no-drone zone at all times. Please click here for more information. 

AIRPORTS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE

For flight near TOL in controlled airspace, drone operators must receive an airspace authorization prior to operation. Airspace authorizations come with altitude limitations and may include other operational provisions. Controlled airspace and other flying restrictions can be found on the FAA’s B4UFLY app.

For more information, please visit: Flying Near Airports | Federal Aviation Administration (faa.gov).

    1. Credit Cards Accepted: American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover are accepted. There is a service provider processing fee of 3% of the total amount paid. This surcharge fee goes directly to the 3rd party credit card processor, not to Vector. This surcharge does not exceed the amount charged to Vector by the credit card processor.

    • Vector does not keep credit card information on file and does not accept credit card information via email or fax.

    • While credit card surcharges charged by “merchants”, “retailers”, or “sellers” are not allowed in some states, they are allowed when government and public entities charge them for the collection of taxes or fees (i.e., landing fees). Vector is not a “merchant”, “retailer”, or “seller” but an “agent” of the government entities (i.e., cities, towns, public authorities, et al) that operate the airports for which Vector collects landing fees and other aircraft operating fees. As such, the prohibition on charging credit card surcharges does not apply to the transaction.

    2. Checks can be mailed to the remittance address shown in the upper left corner of the Vector invoice and MUST include the Invoice Number or Operator ID. Since Vector handles the billing for multiple airports, please make sure your payment is mailed to the airport payment address shown on the invoice.
