Proposed Rules for Unmanned Aircraft: What You Need to Know Now
THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 2025, 1-2:30 ET, 10-11:30 PT
The proposed rules for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations for unmanned aircraft have finally been published in the Federal Register! After literally years of delay and numerous controversies, the FAA has posted a draft of its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). The rule has entered its “Notice and Comment” period, which means that the public has the right to weigh in on all aspects of the new law between now and October 6, and let the FAA know what changes should be made before the rules become final.
In order to be able to comment on the rules, you have to understand them, and at over 700 pages, there is a lot to unpack in the NPRM. Fortunately, we are here to help. In this complimentary 90-minute webinar, Mark Dombroff and Mark McKinnon will analyze and explain the BVLOS NPRM, and answer questions such as:
- What will the new Part 108 of the Federal Aviation Regulations cover?
- What types of work can be done BVLOS?
- What do the licensing, permitting and certification processes look like?
- What type of aircraft can be used?
- How are BVLOS aircraft going to be certificated?
- Can you fly BVLOS over people?
- What types of airspace restrictions will there be?
- How is air traffic control and aircraft deconfliction going to be handled?
- What role will Remote ID and ADS-B play?
- How can you participate in the Notice and Comment phase of the rulemaking and have your voice heard on the final BVLOS rule?
As always, the webinar is free.
