Submitted by tatwood on Thu, 04/14/2022 - 16:29

Dramatic changes are coming to drone operations. The highly anticipated concept of beyond visual line of-sight (BVLOS) drone flying may finally become a reality. An Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) has issued a final report about the topic, which includes recommendations for rulemaking. At this point, the BVLOS drone operations have made it through the first regulatory hurdle. Please note there is a helpful drone calculator on the Rupprecht site, - Drone Law and Drone Attorney Assistance (jrupprechtlaw.com), as well as a study guide for those seeking a drone pilot license, Free Part 107 Test Study Guide: FAA Remote Pilot Airmen Certificate [2021] (jrupprechtlaw.com), and many other helpful resources.
