AvSport of Lock Haven -- 353 Proctor Street, Lock Haven PA 17745
Commercial Drone Pilot Training on the Piper Memorial Airport, Lock Haven PA.
The Challenge:
| On 21 June 2016 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the government agency responsible for regulating flight activities in US airspace, released policies and procedures for commercial drone operation. These rules are now contained in 14 CFR Part 107. As an FAA Safety Team Lead Representative, AvSport's Chief Flight Instructor has been studying FAR 107 closely, but recognizes that these new FAA rules are in a state of flux. Up until now, the FAA has been granting commercial drone operations waivers (Form 333 permits) on a case-by-case basis. All waivers issued to date have required commercial UAS operators to hold pilot's certificates. The new FAA rules have created a Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small Unmanned Aircraft System rating, and AvSport was the first flight school in the nation to offer a course toward obtaining one! |
 FAA's new drone rules took effect on 29 August 2016 |
With drone technology and AvSport training, the sky is no longer a limit.
