More than 100 Section 333 Exemptions granted this week
More than 100 Section 333 Exemptions granted
The FAA appears to be hitting its stride, passing the 100 Section 333 Exemptions granted mark this week. The list of this weeks approvals can be seen below.
The FAA is quickly approving exemption requests that are similar to ones they have previously approved. We encourage the FAA to create a “fast lane” process with simplified forms, bypassing the need for hours of paperwork, legal fees, etc…
The current pace of approvals is an improvement from where we were just a couple of months ago. However, the need for commercial drones is exploding and the United States is falling behind other nations. It is critical for the FAA to continue streamline this process.
Here are some of the 100 Section 333 Exemptions granted.
