    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released a notice about a petition from DronePower1 LLC seeking an exemption from certain Federal Aviation Regulations. The company wants to operate a drone, called the Joyance JTC30 Cleaning Drone, which weighs over 55 pounds, to clean solar panels in commercial and utility solar fields. These operations will take place during the day, with the drone being constantly visible to the operator, in secure locations where solar panels are installed on the ground. The FAA is inviting public comments on this petition until April 8, 2025.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a deadline of May 15, 2025, for airlines to submit their flight schedules for the Winter 2025/2026 season at several major U.S. airports: Chicago O'Hare, JFK, Los Angeles, Newark Liberty, and San Francisco. These airports are subject to specific scheduling processes to manage congestion and ensure smooth operations. At the Level 2 airports like Newark and San Francisco, the FAA encourages voluntary cooperation from airlines to avoid exceeding targeted scheduling limits. Slot management in the U.S. is a shared responsibility, with the FAA handling runway access while airport authorities manage terminal access.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants all the airlines to tell them their Winter 2025/2026 flight plans for some big airports by May 15, 2025, so that everything runs smoothly and there aren't too many planes trying to land and take off at the same time.
