We urge our members to submit VAI’s updated comments to the FAA on the proposed Part 108 beyond visual line of sight drone rule by 11:59 pm eastern (UTC-5) tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 11. The agency reopened the comment period for a short window, and this round focuses on electronic conspicuity and right-of-way. These decisions will set a baseline for how drones and crewed aircraft share the airspace where vertical flight operates every day.
