## Summary of Petition for Exemption

*Docket No.:*                         FAA-2023-0987.                    

*Petitioner:*                         Verge, Inc. dba Verge Aero.                    

*Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected:*                         § 89.515.                    

*Description of Relief Sought:*                         The petitioner seeks relief from the remote identification design and production requirements under 14 CFR 89.515 for the production of an uncrewed aircraft (UA) without design or production approval for light show events. If granted, the requested relief would allow Verge Aero to produce drones to be used exclusively for drone show operations without the UA complying with the minimum performance requirements for standard remote identification UA established in § 89.310. In lieu of complying with 14 CFR 89.515, the petitioner proposes to use a ground-based WiFi router network to broadcast identifying information for                               ( print page 5991)                            the fleet of UAs operated during a light show.
