APD First in Nation to Receive First-of-Its-Kind FAA Waiver for Drone Operations
Asheville On January 15, the FAA gave APD a Part 91 Certificate of Waiver or Authorization. This lets APDโs drone pilots fly drones Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) without needing visual observers.
ย
They can operate at heights up to 200 feet above ground in Class G airspace and up to the limits set in UAS Facility Maps in Class C airspace. This approval establishes a new guideline for public safety drone projects across the country.
ย
โThis achievement reflects APDโs commitment to utilizing advanced technology to serve our community better,โ said Mike Lamb, Chief of the Asheville Police Department. โ By utilizing state-of-the-art tools, weโre enhancing officer safety, improving situational awareness, and ensuring a safer environment for everyone in Asheville.ย
