FAA policy for public safety drone programs is shifting fast, and it just got a lot easier to start or scale your Drone as First Responder (#DFR) program. The FAA has created a new waiver process for public safety operations, offering a streamlined path to obtaining a Part 91 BVLOS Certificate of Waiver (COW). The process cuts approval times in half, offers a path to fly above UAS Facility Map altitudes, and doesn’t even require a COA Application Processing System (CAPS) submission! Hear from regulatory expert Jakee Stoltz as he breaks down exactly how the new process works and what it means for your agency. Whether you’re launching a new drone program or expanding advanced operations, this previously recorded session will give you the clarity and confidence to navigate the latest FAA process updates.
