Cobb sits under Class C airspace of Dobbins ARB and adjacent to ATL Class B. Recreational drone flights require FAA Part 107 TRUST, LAANC authorization, and are prohibited within 5 miles of Dobbins without approval. Cobb parks ban launches per Ch. 74.
Recreational drone use in Cobb County is tightly constrained by airspace. Dobbins Air Reserve Base (Marietta) generates Class C airspace that blankets most of central Cobb, and the northern edge of Hartsfield-Jackson's Class B reaches into south Cobb near Mableton. Any flight in controlled airspace requires LAANC authorization through the FAA's B4UFLY app. The FAA Exception for Recreational Flyers (49 U.S.C. Β§44809) still applies: FAA registration for drones over 0.55 lbs, 400-foot max altitude, VLOS, TRUST test certificate. Cobb County Code Ch. 74 (Parks & Recreation) prohibits launching or landing drones in county parks and at county facilities without prior written permission. No flights over Truist Park on Atlanta Braves game days (TFR in effect). Kennesaw Mountain NBP (National Park Service) has a total drone ban under 36 CFR 1.5.
FAA airspace violation: fines $1,000β$27,500 per incident plus potential criminal referral. County park violation: Β§1-10 citation, typically $100β$500. Kennesaw Mountain NPS: federal citation up to $5,000 + 6 months.
