Authorization
Permits and certificates
Map the expected authorization path to fleet size, aircraft capability, operational scope, public exposure, and oversight.
Solutions • Future Regulation
Part 108 Readiness
Future-facing preparation for the FAA proposed BVLOS framework, scalable operations, safety management, security, and data services.
Regulatory status
Part 108 is presented here as future readiness based on the FAA BVLOS proposal. Requirements may change before any final rule becomes effective.
Prepare the operating system before scale arrives.
The FAA proposal contemplates permits and certificates, new operational roles, automated data service providers, safety and security obligations, and expanded records and reporting.
People
Operational roles
Prepare governance for operations supervisors, flight coordinators, training, competency, fitness, and duty limitations.
Airspace Services
ADSP dependencies
Define provider qualification, service performance, software control, outage response, data integrity, and interface hazards.
Aircraft
Accepted means and limitations
Control configuration, consensus-standard evidence, operating limitations, Remote ID, lighting, maintenance, and continued operational safety.
Security
Physical and cyber
Protect controlled locations, networks, aircraft, data, credentials, software, and incident-response processes.
Evidence
Records and reporting
Prepare flight, aircraft, maintenance, personnel, route, occurrence, security, and service-provider records.
Certified-operator SMS readiness
The FAA proposal describes SMS and training expectations for higher-risk certificated operators. EFVS readiness work uses current Part 5 principles as a durable foundation while maintaining a controlled regulatory assumptions register.
