After receiving numerous complaints, the FAA overturned a policy set in December involving experimental aircraft testing.
The regulation limited aircraft in Phase I to operating out of only a single airport. The order, 8130.2K, was issued on August 28 and took effect in December. It cut down the number of airports permitted for Phase I flight testing. DJI recently launched its new ‘Flip’ drone to cater to content creators and newbies. The Flip drone is a compact, foldable model that weighs under 249 grams, making it highly portable and exempt from FAA registration requirements for recreational use. It is equipped with a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor capable of capturing 48MP photos and shooting 4K HDR video at 60 fps. Avilution’s new FAA-approved Air Data Computer (ADC) upgrade recently took flight for the first time on board the Eclipse 500 Jet. The software aims to serve as a solution for older aircraft looking for modern tech upgrades. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
