UAV Food Deliveries Coming Via Causey Aviation Unmanned, Flytrex
The FAA has granted UAS services company Causey Aviation Unmanned Inc. (CAU) and Flytrex permission to begin using UAS to make food deliveries in Holly Springs, North Carolina.
The flights, which will be conducted under the UAS Integration Pilot Program (UAS IPP), will be a collaborative effort between CUA, Flytrex, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the Town of Holly Springs, and Kite Realty Group Trust.
“Regulation is crucial to the future of widespread drone delivery, both for safe operations and public acceptance, which is why we have been working diligently with the FAA to adhere to the highest standards of safety,” says Yariv Bash, CEO and co-founder of Flytrex.
“We continually strive to reach new heights when it comes to advancing commercial drone use around the world. That is why we are thrilled to have been chosen to work so closely with the FAA to help this pilot take off. This is just the beginning as we expand the possibilities of sky-bound delivery.”
Flytrex's UAS will fly along one predetermined delivery route, connecting a distribution center at Holly Springs Towne Center—a shopping destination owned and operated by Kite Realty Group—with a nearby outdoor sports and recreation hub called Ting Park. The flight route crosses over Route 55, and will fly primarily over unpopulated areas, as it avoids flights over adjacent neighborhoods.
CAU says that its UAS delivery operations for compensation under this provision will be conducted in accordance with Part 107 rules, and within line of sight of the remote pilot in command (RPIC). The deliveries are expected to begin soon.
