Do you know how these drones communicate with the ATC to state their intentions? Is there a flight plan made ahead and plan that they don't deviate from? I could not find any information online.
The operator is communicating via VHF with ATC. I’m not sure on exactly how the transmissions are handled (via aircraft, or remote radio station?) but the operator is in communication with ATC. If you can find a live ATC feed of Syracuse tower they’re frequently doing touch and go’s there.
