#PilotPeachy #FAA PUBLISHES UAS BEYOND VISUAL LINE OF SITE FINAL REPORT; A WELCOME SIGN FOR COMMERCIAL DRONE USE

BVLOS ARC, with Participation from DroneUp, Recommends Broadening Drone Operations

DroneUp, LLC, an autonomous drone delivery platform and leading drone services provider, today shared a statement in support of the BVLOS Aviation Rulemaking Committee's (ARC) final report that the FAA published last evening. The Committee's report further advances the industry's mission to make aviation safer and bring new benefits across the aviation industry in the United States.

This report, which has been in the works for the past nine-months is the culmination of the UAS BVLOS ARC research into broadening safe, scalable, economically viable, and environmentally friendly UAS BVLOS operations that are not under positive air traffic control.

"While many in the industry have lamented the lack of regulatory options as a barrier to success, DroneUp has charged forward delivering results within the current regulatory constraints. Still, we are immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to help shape the future of UAS for BLVOS operations," said John Vernon, DroneUp's CTO and FAA BVLOS ARC committee member. "Unlocking BLVOS will have a tremendous impact on the world, opening up opportunities only dreamed about in science fiction. This report's feedback and common-sense proposals represent the best from the technology, aviation, municipal, and societal leaders and provide a solid list of recommendations to rule-makers. We are excited to see how these recommendations will shape regulations that will propel this industry forward by providing a clear pathway to BVLOS."

The final recommendations made by the UAS-BVLOS ARC membership committee will allow the FAA to adopt a common and consistent set of regulations and guidance, giving drone operators the flexibility to meet an acceptable level of risk through qualitative or quantitative methods, or a hybrid approach. This will now enable routine BVLOS operations to unlock critical benefits for high-value uses such as infrastructure inspections, medical supply and package delivery, public safety missions, wildfire mitigation, and agriculture surveying.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
