Get Pilot Institute Gear: https://merch.pilotinstitute.com First story, Senators Rick Scott (Rep-FL), Jon Tester(D-MT), and Mark Warner (D-VA) introduced a modified version of the Countering CCP Drones Act, which expands on the House Version. This standalone bill expands on the House version to add Autel Robotics to the FCC Covered List. The modified language includes a partial reimbursement program for first responders to purchase or lease approved drones. Problems are, the reimbursement program is grant-based, which means some departments will not qualify. It also is only available for up to $15m or 2 years which means that past the deadline, first responders would be forced to purchase expensive drones without financial assistance, paid with taxpayer money. Third problem, commercial operators and hobbyists won’t receive any sort of reimbursement. An approved drone is defined as one that is not designed, manufactured or assembled by a foreign entity of concern, or does not include software, or one of more critical component from a foreign entity of concern. Problem again, critical component is not defined. Now on hold, because there is more. The bill I just mentioned is a standalone bill… In addition, Scott and Warner also introduced the Countering CCP drones act as an amendment to the Senate NDAA. BUT, please note that the amendment has not been adopted and the full Senate has not even begun to debate their NDAA bill yet. It’s important to note that this amendment has NOT been adopted and the full senate has NOT begun to debate the NDAA yet. It gets complicated regarding the options for how things will proceed… The full Senate could vote on their version of the NDAA or simply go to “conference” where they will work out the differences between House and Senate versions. Because there is a lot of guessing as to what they can do from here, we won’t speculate, but regardless, it’s a good time to contact your representative to let them know you oppose the proposed bills. Lawmakers, namely John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) are calling for an investigation into Anzu Robotics. If you’re unfamiliar with Anzu, they have licensed hardware from DJI, but use a completely separate software suite developed in partnership with Aloft Air Control. The aircraft, the Raptor and Raptor T do not share royalties or data with DJI, and Anzu has the rights to modify and manufacture the technology at will. John Molenaar stated “We cannot allow Chinese companies to evade American scrutiny by white labeling their products. The U.S. government must take action to address this national security concern and flagrant disregard for American law.” Anzu Robotics was asked to answer 8 questions by September 6.
Next up, the FAA has published a number of proposed fines against UAS operators. Among the most expensive, an operator in Florida was fined $32,700 after interfering with a law enforcement operation.
Another incident occurred in Ohio when someone flew a drone into a football stadium. The pilot flew BVLOS, in a TFR, over people. The final fine for that incident was $7,760.There are a few more if you want to read about them.

First up, DJI launched a few new products this week!
DJI also released the Agras T100 and T70 in China, meaning we may see these come to the US in the following months. The T100 comes with a 330lb maximum takeoff weight, a 100-liter capacity of fertilizer, and a payload of 187 lbs. The T70 is slightly smaller and comes in two variants, one with a 50-liter capacity and one with a 70-liter capacity. The total payload on the T70 is 143 lbs and features an 8-minute charging time on the battery. In the US, drones would require a 44807 exemption to operate and a Part 137 if used for agriculture. With the T100 and T70, DJI has also released a new D-RTK3, a New DJI RC Plus with O4, and an O4 image relay station. Again, these product releases are limited to China, but are an exciting view into what may come next to the US!
Next up, Anzu has partnered with DroneLink for automated planning! The new integration into the Raptor series allows for advanced mapping including orbits, vertical facades, panos, custom waypoint missions, and panos. New mapping features include single grid, double grid, linear maps, and terrain following, along with custom settings for camera angles and overlaps. Facade inspections include flying vertical columns, spirals, stacked orbits, or horizontal paths, and again, the same custom settings for camera angles, pitch, and overlap. Cool changes to the Anzu that should allow many more folks to take advantage of them!
Last up, Police in Clark County, Washington found two mushroom hunters lost in the backcountry using a weatherproof drone this week! Over 50 volunteers, multiple canines, and SAR teams faced challenging conditions including hail, sleet, and pouring rain while searching. The breakthrough came when the sheriff deployed an DJI M30 and was able to locate one of the missing mushroom hunters from the air and vector ground searchers in on the victim’s location. The breakthrough came when the sheriff deployed an DJI M30 and was able to locate one of the missing mushroom hunters from the air and vector ground searchers in on the victim’s location.
