BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The webinar will provide a general understanding of BVLOS UA Operations, as well as an overview of some the different variations on BVLOS. The webinar will explain why there is so much interest in BVLOS, and will look at BVLOS from the perspective of the regulator (CAA). Considerations a regulator must make if asked to approve a BVLOS operation in their state will also be discussed.
This webinar is aimed at experienced aviation regulators with limited UAS exposure who are interested to learn more about BVLOS. Industry and others with a concern in how a regulator views BVLOS will also have an interest.
