| | Opening the Skies to Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Drone Operations BVLOS flight unlocks the next generation of surveying applications and operations, helping organizations collect data from places they never could before, in a way that is safer and more cost-efficient than traditional methods. However, in order to fly BVLOS in U.S. airspace, you must obtain a special, hard-to-get waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Working in conjunction with the | | FAA, PrecisionHawk has conducted BVLOS safety research, allowing them to develop a strong safety case and standards for BVLOS operations. Learn from their experience >> |
