Government Regulation

Aero Velocity is subject to industry-specific regulations governing the operation of UAS. In the United States, its activities are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (“ FAA”), which oversees the use of the U. S. National Airspace System (“ NAS”) for all air vehicles, including small UAS (“sUAS”).

In August 2016, the FAA’s final rules for the routine commercial use of certain small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) weighing less than 55 pounds became effective. These rules establish safety and operational requirements for non-recreational flight, generally mandating visual line-of-sight operations during daylight hours or during twilight with anti-collision lighting, and imposing restrictions on altitude, airspeed, and proximity to persons not directly involved in the operation. The regulations also require aircraft registration, operator certification, marking requirements, and adherence to operational limitations, including prohibitions on flights over unprotected individuals absent specific authorization.

Aero Velocity operates under FAA Part 107 regulations employing a team of certified remote pilots who comply with all applicable operational requirements. For missions requiring Operations Over People (“ OOP”), Over Moving Vehicles, Beyond Visual Line of Sight, or at night, the Company either obtains the necessary FAA waivers or deploys aircraft that are compliant with the applicable FAA operational categories. Aero Velocity’s fleet includes aircraft that are compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act, ensuring eligibility for federal procurement and adherence to U. S. national security requirements.

In April 2021, the FAA’s final rule for Remote Identification (“ Remote ID”) of UAS became effective, alongside updated provisions for operations of sUAS over people. These rules permit certain categories of routine operations over people, moving vehicles, and at night, provided that the aircraft and operation meet specified technical and safety standards. Aero Velocity ensures that all deployed aircraft and flight operations are Remote ID compliant in accordance with applicable FAA deadlines.

In addition to U. S. regulations, Aero’s
