Regulatory Requirements for Heavy-Lift Drones:
Weight and Classification: The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for agricultural purposes weighs at least 55 lbs (including the weight of the substance being displaced). It falls under the regulations specified in 14 CFR Part 47, which governs Aircraft Registration.
Part 107 Pilot License: To operate the agricultural UAS, you must obtain or already hold a Part 107 Pilot License. This license is issued by the FAA and confirms that you possess the necessary knowledge and skills for safe operation.
Important Updates:
Expiration of Section 44807: The FAA Exemption granted by Section 44807 expired on September 30, 2023. As a result, compliance with all regulations is now mandatory, and previous exemptions are no longer valid.
Remote ID Compliance: Drone pilots have been expected to comply with Remote ID requirements since September 16, 2023. However, the FAA will consider relevant factors to determine enforcement through March 16, 2024.
Additional Information:
For detailed information on the registration process for a UAS under 14 CFR Part 47, obtaining the Part 107 Pilot License, and the steps to become a drone pilot, please refer to the official FAA website. The FAA website provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on UAS operations, regulations, and the necessary procedures.
Note: It is crucial to regularly monitor the official FAA website for any updates or changes in regulations to ensure ongoing compliance with the requirements for operating agricultural drones.
Use Cases
Our dual-rotor unmanned helicopter platform is highly capable and can serve in numerous capacities. Some of the uses include, but are not limited to, the following:
Industrial transportation
Move infrastructure material
Heavy cargo for agriculture
Aerial reconnaissance
Report traffic and road conditions
Surveying, terrain models, and orthographic maps
Search and rescue operations
Herding animals
Infrastructure inspection
Competitive Advantage
I. Cost Effective
Less human resource requirement
Manned helicopters have higher operational and maintenance costs due to the need for human pilots and crew
Lower operational and maintenance costs than manned helicopters
Training expenditures diminished in comparison to manned helicopters
Training for Part 61: Commerical Pilot could cost over $50,000 (Helicopter Flight Training Academy)
Lower initial cost
The average price of a helicopter is ~$2 million US, and can higher for commercial helicopters
This does not include a necessary helicopter hangar, which could cost over $200,000 (supermoney)
Our offering is substantially cheaper (see below)
II. Enhanced Safety
Lower human risk
Manned helicopters pose higher risk to human life, especially in dangerous or remote areas
Minimized potential for human error seen in manned helicopters
Capability to conduct hazardous missions, reducing risk to humans
IV. Better Operational Efficiency and Capability
Ability to perform extended operations, unlike manned helicopters limited by human fatigue
Increased payload capacity due to no space required for pilots and crew
Superior precision and accuracy
V. Unmanned Helicopter Versatility
Adaptability to diverse environments, outdoing manned helicopters
Equipment with varied payloads
Competence to undertake various types of missions
VI. Technological Advancement
Advanced remote control technology
Innovative features such as GPS/Beidou/Galileo, sensors, real-time data transmission, lacking in manned helicopters
Constant opportunities for upgrades due to fast-paced technological advancements
Manned helicopters may not benefit from emerging technologies as quickly or affordably
VII. Environmentally Friendly
Lower emissions compared to manned helicopters
Reduced noise pollution, offering less disturbance to wildlife
VIII. Regulatory Advantage
Less regulatory hurdles than manned helicopters, which require more licenses and regulations
Eliminates the need for pilot licensing and physical fitness evaluations for crews, unlike manned helicopters.
