Taking Off into the Regulatory Landscape: What You Need to Know
The drone industry is booming, offering incredible opportunities for commercial operators. But navigating the complex world of airspace regulations can feel like pre-flight checks in a hurricane. These videos we’ve curated cut through the jargon, providing crucial insights into everything from temporary flight restrictions and BVLOS authorizations to the ever-evolving FAA landscape. Understanding these rules isn’t just about staying legal; it’s about operating safely and responsibly, ensuring the future of this exciting industry.
Key Takeaways: Your Flight Plan for Regulatory Success
TFRs and You: Temporary Flight Restrictions (like those discussed regarding New Jersey airspace) can significantly impact operations. Knowing how to check for TFRs and obtain necessary waivers is critical for commercial pilots. Think of it like checking the weather before a flight – essential!
BVLOS Breakthroughs: The FAA’s authorization of commercial BVLOS operations without visual observers for companies like Zipline and Wing Aviation is a game-changer. This signals a shift towards more complex and efficient drone operations. Imagine the possibilities for delivery, infrastructure inspection, and more!
DJI & Regulatory Scrutiny: From potential bans on certain models due to national security concerns (the Countering CCP Drones Act) to the exciting release of new drones like the DJI Neo, staying informed about developments surrounding major manufacturers is essential for business planning and equipment choices. Don’t get caught off guard – keep an eye on the news!

Remote ID – It’s Here to Stay: Understanding Remote ID requirements (like those detailed by Stratigos Dynamics) is becoming non-negotiable for all drone pilots. Make sure your drone complies and you’re up-to-date on the latest rules. Think of it like a digital license plate for your drone.
Safety First, Always: Whether it’s Australian CASA guidelines or general safety tips, remember that responsible operation is paramount. Pre-flight checks, airspace awareness, and understanding emergency procedures are your best allies. Safety isn’t just a regulation, it’s a mindset.
The Future is BVLOS: Charting the Course Ahead
The trend towards more complex drone operations, particularly BVLOS, is undeniable. While regulations are catching up, the approvals granted to Zipline and Wing demonstrate that the FAA is moving towards a future where drones play a larger role in our airspace. This will create new opportunities for commercial operators, but also necessitate a greater emphasis on robust safety protocols, advanced pilot training, and sophisticated UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) systems.

DRONE MYSTERY: FAA Now Issues Restrictions But Will PULL It Right Before Trump gets inauguratedLiveNOW from FOX60,729 views | 989 | December 19 2024 14:59:09 (517 comments)[ Read more … ]
The Federal Aviation Administration issued temporary flight restrictions prohibiting drone flights over parts of New Jersey following an influx of sightings in recent weeks.
The notice, which expires Jan. 17, 2025, said drone operations in support of national defense, homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting, search and rescue or disaster response missions are not included in the restrictions.
Commercial drone operations are allowed with a valid statement of work, but there must be an approved special governmental interest airspace waiver and all applicable FAA regulations must be followed.
The New York Stewart International Airport (SWF), a public and military airport in Orange County, had “multiple reported drone sightings near and over the airport,” a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
SWF shut down the airport runway for over an hour on Friday night in response, and had no safety impacts on aircraft.
Brett Velicovich, Fox News contributor and CEO of Expert Drones, told Fox News Digital via email, “now it’s affecting our economy, by not allowing flights to depart on time.”
He added, “The airports can’t do anything else but shut down traffic even if there is just a reported sighting. Out of precautions for safety [airports] have to, and that’s the issue is [drone operators] can’t be tracked easily and can quickly shut down traffic and cause mass disruptions.”

First up, a new senate amendment to the 2025 NDAA hopes to add the Countering CCP Drones Act.
If enacted, the countering CCP language would revoke all FCC approvals for DJI and Autel products, effectively banning new mo dels and grounding current fleets.
The NDAA still has to be voted on by the Senate, but the addition of the Countering CCP language would align the House of Representatives NDAA bill and the Senate bill on the issue.
Now is a great time to reach out to your representatives and senators as we near the election to let them know this language would devastate our industry and reduce Public Safety’s ability to effectively save lives.
We’ll update you as this progresses.
Next up, the first Category 2 Drone has hit the DOC List!
The DJI Matrice 3D and 3DT are now approved for operations over people under categories 2 and 3 using the AVSS parachute system!
If you’re unfamiliar with the Matrice 3D, it’s DJI’s Dock 2 aircraft.
Both of the Matrice 3D and 3DT are variable categories between cat 2 and cat 3 depending on the winds.
More approvals should begin to hit the DOC list as AVSS tests more parachutes!
Next, there are some DJI leaks for a new drone!
The DJI Neo hit the FCC database this week, showing a 2S, 1435mAh battery.
According to DroneXL, DJI follows a “30% Rule” in battery to drone weight, suggesting the drone will weigh about 170g.
Leaked pictures also show a possible prototype similar to a DJI Mini-series drone.
Currently, there are no leaked specs for the drone and we can’t verify the leaked images are indeed of this model.
We’ll keep you updated when we see more!
Last up, the FAA has finally authorized the first commercial drone operation beyond visual line of sight without using a visual observer. The approval goes to Zipline and Wing Aviation. I’m guessing this is an approval without a waiver under part 135 since other operators have been able to do this under part 107 waivers.
The FAA stated that companies are sharing planned flight routes with other authorized airspace users by using Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems.
We are still expecting to see a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) later this year that would normalize BVLOS operations for drones.
Finally, a quick Community update. We have our July Drone photo contest winner! This month’s winner is Derek Paulsen, with his photo of a “Beautiful Mountain Lake Outside Glacier National Park”. Congratulations to Derek, who will receive a custom made pilot institute trophy and a $250 gift card. We’ll have another contest in August, so stay tuned for those details.
That’s it for now, have a great weekend, and we’ll see you on Monday for the Live!

If you’re using a drone, or remotely piloted aircraft, for work or business, there are specific rules that apply to you.
Flying a drone commercially means flying for any type of hire or reward. Commercial flying also includes research and development — this means anything that isn’t flying for sport or recreation.
With more drones in Australian skies than ever before, it’s important that you understand the rules that keep you and others safe.
