Will Immediately Start Full Operations In South Florida

The FAA has authorized OpenSky Drones for commercial UAV services.

In January of this year, OpenSky Drones (OSD), based in Coral Springs, FL made six separate applications for authorization from the FAA to use unmanned aircraft for multiple commercial services and operations. All six were approved, providing for various missions including aerial data collection and analysis and inspections for the insurance, agriculture and electric utility companies.

Authorization was also given to OSD for use of the aircraft for motion picture and television filming, aerial and video photography, laser measurement, air quality measurements and to conduct cellular tower and signal analysis inspections for the telecommunication industries.

OpenSky Drones intends to use its experienced pilots to provide Emergency Drone Services allowing critical operations to police and fire departments in the South Florida area and to utilities companies for hurricane preparedness and disaster management.

“Our pilots have been training for this day where we can deploy smart and safe professional drone aerial services,” stated Howard Melamed, President of OpenSky Drones LLC. “We have been given the clearance for takeoff by the FAA for our operations – Now its time to get to work.”
