In recent months, the UAS industry has made significant progress toward scalable commercial drone operations – which in turn is unlocking valuable uses and increasing access to more communities. With commercial drone operations expanding, it is important for drone operators to demonstrate compliance with UAS pilot rules.  Operators seeking to conduct commercial drone flights must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to demonstrate that they understand the regulations, preflight considerations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.  

This week on the Dawn of Drones podcast, we continue a “Crossover Drone Tech”-focused month sponsored by Kongsberg Geospatial with Taylor Abington, Director of Operations at Velos Rotors. Velos Rotors focuses on creating some of the finest flying machines in the market, advancing performance, reliability, and safety standards. Beginning their journey with fully redundant RC helicopter platforms, Velos Rotors expanded into the drone industry with the Velos UAV. Its applications range from rescue missions and human organ transportation to demanding survey missions requiring the use of expensive and sensitive sensors.
