FAA Approves BVLOS Drone Flights in DFW Using Advanced UTM Technology

The FAA has granted its first-ever approval for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone flights by multiple operators in the same airspace, utilizing advanced Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) technology in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This authorization, a collaborative effort among Zipline International, Wing Aviation, and other industry participants, will enable safe, coordinated package deliveries through a communication and conflict avoidance system similar to the federal air traffic management system. Initial UTM-supported flights are expected to begin in August, with the FAA aiming to issue further authorizations and release the Normalizing UAS BVLOS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking later this year.

SARPcheck global aviation safety audit: A wet lease, codeshare, ACMI Booster

SARPcheck is a new global aviation safety audit that assesses airline compliance with select ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) across defined ICAO Annexes. The primary aim of this audit is to enhance global flight safety while providing an affordable and accessible tool to facilitate ACMI, wet lease, and codeshare operations. The ICAO Annexes and SARPs that SARPcheck focuses on are specifically those outlined by regulatory and industry standards, including FAA requirements for overseeing foreign air carriers and the TCO approval elements of EASA.

SARPcheck is governed by a London-based not-for-profit organization, the Safety Audit Review Partnership (SARP Ltd.), which accredits Safety Quality Organizations (SQOs) such as AEROTHRIVE, Aviation Quality Services and WAKE (QA) LIMITED to conduct these audits globally. Detailed information about the program, including the SARPcheck Program Manual (SCPM), informative brochures, and the latest updates, is available on our website at www.SARP.org. For further inquiries or personal assistance, please feel free to send me a message. I'm always happy to help! Lufthansa City Airlines is the global launch customer of SARPcheck.
