FAA Continues to Modify UAS Approval Process to Expedite Integration
Posted by Adele Scholl on 4/19/2015 to
By the end of 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration (FA
A) had approved less than 15 Section 333 exemptions authorizing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operations. Roughly three months later, that number has jumped to over 130 Section 333 exemptions approved. The surge in approvals can be attributed to recent changes in the FAA’s approval process as well as increasing pressure from the White House and industry to speed up UAS integration. A few of the recent changes implemented by the FAA include introduction of a “blanket” COA, reliance on a “summary grant” process, and dialing back of certain prerequisites to approval.

On February 23, the Federal Aviation Administration published in the Federal Register its long-awaited Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") concerning proposed regulations for small unmanned aircraft systems ("sUASs") weighing under 55 pounds. The NPRM culminates over six years of agency work, and follows two years of legal challenges, advocacy and vigorous public debate concerning the current and future regulatory framework for civilian drones.
