Tazewell Ellett, Lisa Ellman, Gretchen West, Michael Bell, Patrick R. Rizzi, Matthew Clark and Jared Bomberg Huge News: FAA/DOT Release Small UAS Rule The commercial UAS industry in the U.S. took a giant leap forward yesterday, as DOT and FAA released its Final Rule for the Operation and Certification of Small UAS (Part 107). At 624 pages long, there is certainly a lot to digest and we will be following up with more analysis of Part 107 throughout this week and next. For the time being, we wanted to provide you with a high-level overview of Part 107 and to identify a few areas where the FAA surprised us (mostly in a good way).
Matthew Clark and Patrick R. Rizzi Drones on Campus: FAA Opens Door to Expanded Student Drone Use in the Classroom Colleges and universities across the country are finding new and innovative ways to use drones in the classroom.

Kyle Simpson, Gretchen West, Janna Chesno and Allison Hellreich Taking to the Air: Using Drones to Ensure Regulatory Compliance for Natural Gas and Oil Pipelines and Other Critical Infrastructure Owners and Operators Energy companies that operate critical infrastructure face regulatory challenges on a daily basis as they strive to provide effective and efficient service safely. Congress may make some of these regulatory challenges less burdensome by lifting restrictions on the use of drones to monitor their assets.
Lisa Ellman and Matthew Clark FAA Warns State and Local Governments on Impermissible Regulation of UAS The FAA’s Office of Chief Counsel yesterday released new guidance for state and local government authorities as they increasingly seek to regulate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones. The FAA’s State and Local Regulation of UAS Fact Sheet provides basic information about the federal regulatory framework for use by states and localities when considering proposing legislation or ordinances that would affect the use of UAS.

Matthew Clark, Lisa Ellman, Tazewell Ellett and Patrick R. Rizzi FAA Releases Rule on UAS Registration Requirements The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that nearly 800,000 small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones, will be sold this holiday season, and expects sales of an additional 1.9 million UAS to hobbyist and recreational users in 2016. Over the past year we have witnessed a surge in news events involving careless operators misusing drones, including crashes at stadium sporting events and hundreds of incidents involving close-encounters between UAS and manned aircraft.

Matthew Clark and Lisa Ellman Moving UAS Policy Boundaries Forward, Take 2: Flights Beyond Visual Line of Sight of the Operator Yesterday we reported on the FAA’s policy shift relating to flights near people. The FAA last week made another quiet change that implicates beyond line of sight operations. While the demand for UAS continues to grow, the FAA’s current requirement that the UAS only be operated within visual line-of-sight of the operator limits the full potential of UAS for many commercial uses. Some of the most promising commercial UAS applications—precision agriculture, powerline inspections, and railroad inspections, to name just a few—necessitate flights beyond visual line-of-sight (“BVLOS”) of the operator to be efficient. “Line-of-sight” flight requires that the pilot can visually see the UAS at all times during the operation, unless another person acting as a visual observer maintains constant visual contact with the UAS.

Patrick R. Rizzi DOT Order on Airline Slots Vacated By D.C. Circuit In a strongly worded decision, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated a Department of Transportation Order that had withdrawn two within-perimeter slot exemptions from Republic Airlines and reallocated them to Sun Country Airlines. The DOT rarely has a carrier selection in a contested route proceeding reversed or vacated on judicial review. It
