Dedrone's latest report reveals a startling trend: one-third of drone flights violate FAA rules on July 4th. These violations, including drones flying too high and entering restricted airspace, pose significant risks to public safety. Dedrone's expertise in airspace security is crucial in addressing these unauthorized drone activities, ensuring that our skies remain safe during high-profile events and holidays.

The GACA takes a new step towards enabling the application of modern technologies in various fields by issuing the first operational permit for facade cleaning using unmanned aerial drones, in line with the goals of the national aviation strategy

This is a major step forward in the progress of larger unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and shows the effort being undertaken to allow sustainable scaling of the industry https://lnkd.in/e4j7dx27. It aligns with the work the CAA is doing https://lnkd.in/eRM-MmZe, supported by their four pillars of Pilot competency, Flightworthiness, Risk assessment and Airspace. These regulations will form an essential part of the development of effective unmanned systems in the air and will support the more rapid growth and expansion of this valuable industry. #drone #UAS #UAV #BVLOS #EVLOS #VLOS #Droneliner #UmannedAerialVehicle #UnmannedAerialSystem #FAA #CAA

On September 6th, Pirineos Drone Aviation S.L presented the flight of their DJI Flycart 30 at the Grau Roig sector of Grandvalira-Saetde (And), in the presence of Andorran authorities, the fire department, and the media, with support from the resort’s staff and HPDRONES, who actively collaborate and provide support to Pirineos in their delivery operations. The tests marked significant progress, successfully demonstrating the transport of loads up to 25kg across distances exceeding 1km within the resort. Since May, Pirineos Drone has completed 50 test flights, covering a total distance of 50km, proving that each operational drone can transport at least 100kg per hour. This achievement would not have been possible without the backing of the Andorran Government’s Civil Aviation Department, whose support in facilitating these tests is crucial to developing new regulations for remotely piloted systems (drones) in the Principality. #hpdrones #djiflycart30 #pirineosdrone #delivery #andorra

For the first time in U.S. aviation history, the FAA has granted authorization to multiple operators for the commercial use of drones without visual observers in shared #airspace. #Zipline International and #Wing Aviation have received permissions that enable them to deliver packages while maintaining safe distances between their drones using #UAS traffic management (#UTM) technology. This system allows the industry to control the airspace under strict FAA safety supervision."This marks the first occasion the FAA has allowed a third-party to manage drone interactions securely," said a spokesperson. It's a pivotal moment for the entire aviation sector as we move towards a future with increased flights and a heightened need for coordination. #uavdronetechnolog #drones #UAVs #aviation #technology #drones #eVTOLs #pilot #smartcities #Dronesforgood #AUVSI #DroneX #AAMExpo #helitech #Innovation #Aerospace #Technology https://lnkd.in/dn87S8uk

Out of Sight: FAA Authorizes Commercial Drone Flights Beyond Visual Observation In my hometown of Dallas, the FAA has authorized commercial drone flights in the same airspace without line of sight visual observers under with close scrutiny from the FAA. See announcement at https://lnkd.in/gAJbExkP Previously, the FAA required drones to be operated within the line of sight of their operators. Zipline International and Wing Aviation will carry out the package deliveries under this authority. TAKEAWAY: This FAA action is an exciting development for commercial use of drones, which business should follow closely and, as soon as authorized, emulate where their businesses can benefit consumers and themselves.

  📢 ✈ Exciting Announcement! 🚁 🌎 Our group company, Unifly, is proud to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Project ASSURE in validating Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Detect and Avoid (DAA) Well Clear Requirement. Unifly is a global leader in UTM solutions. We're thrilled to join this groundbreaking project initiated by FAA in collaboration with ASSURE and partner universities. With a total funding of approximately $90 million, ASSURE aims to validate separation criteria for sUAS operations, crucial for airspace safety and integration. Unifly's participation underscores the pivotal role UTM plays in integrating drones into airspace. Together with our industry and research partners, we're paving the way for a future where drones and Advanced Air Mobilities (AAMs) seamlessly coexist with traditional aircraft. https://lnkd.in/g69rUxNm #TerraDrone #Unifly #FAA #ASSURE #UTM #Drones #AAM #AdvancedAirMobility #AviationInnovation

As attention increases regarding aircraft activity in the eastern U.S., Inside Unmanned Systems will be providing substantive context from UAS and AAM industry experts.
