NEW! Tactical BVLOS (Obstruction Sheilded) Waiver for Part 107
This waiver is similar to the TBVLOS waiver but allows true BVLOS flights for Part 107 remote pilots. It requires flight within 50 ft of the highest obstacle (natural or manmade) for as far as the system can reliably operate. This allows public safety Part 107 and commercial Part 107 remote pilots to utilize this waiver. A one time application for this is through the FAA Drone Zone - https://faadronezone-access.faa.gov/#/
What does the FAA consider when acting on an authorization or waiver requests?
