Planned TFRs like the fleet week are handled like this. Short notice TFRs are a weak spot if one lands after the last job. For commercial applications, the schedule would need checks at shorter intervals.
Stadiums are different. There is a standing FAA rule ( mentioned in the post). So each time a route crosses Oracle Park, a check is made to see if a game is present on that particular day and its starting time. Since we do not know when the match will end, we have made the assumption of 3.5 hours from the first pitch/start.
"Taller than drones may fly" is wrong for 164ft building. What tripped it is, at that spot the local LAANC facility map ceiling which is below 400ft and on top of that, we have kept 50ft clearance over buildings. I would change it so the full calculation is shown.
About the exception for §107.51(b) - I kept the stricter 400 feet AGL cap because of how data is collected. Currently, the building heights are based on OpenStreetMap (some are estimated from floor count from the ground) and Data SF 2010 LiDAR. If the height is wrong or approximated, it may say Go for a flight that is over the legal limit.
I will cite which regulation applies for each route. That is a good idea I will add it.
The core problem of VF was pushing companies for growth at all costs which led to companies not focussing on unit economics, not caring about profitability and becoming too big to ever take care of those things. Fixing your unit economics when you are so big is akin to repairing a rocket and changing direction which it is hurtling aggressively to crash. I hope now entrepreneurs will try to build sustainable business hoping for an IPO rather than growing fast to come in eye of VF and take softbank money
