ACTIVITY
Record dateFAA received the expanded-flight assignment.
AMERICAN Drones, made HERE!
Operators asked which approvals remain required during the transition.
You can't see the little thing anymore, still have to know where it's GOING..... very important part of the Flying, I understand that part extremely well.
The demonstration flight has a shorter route than the rulemaking.
Get the Rules moving, don't need a Committee for every Propeller.
