Lion's Share Went To Small Businesses
A recently-released report from AUVSI indicates that nearly 90 percent of the waivers granted by the FAA under Part 107 went to small businesses. According to the report, most of the waivers allow businesses to operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) at night, which is not permitted under the current rule. The report also finds that businesses in 44 states received waivers in the first six months since the rule took effect.
