In August, the FAA released a proposed rule that would enable beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones. Known as Part 108, the proposed rule is critical to vertical flight because UAS operate in the same low-altitude airspace as many rotorcraft operations. VAI welcomes this essential step in the maturation of the UAS sector—but not at the cost of the safety and efficiency of our existing aviation ecosystem. Watch the September video to learn more about what’s in Part 108 and VAI’s suggestions for how BVLOS operations can work for everyone.
