    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has accepted a compliance method proposed by the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (VT MAAP) for small unmanned aircraft (sUA) operations, specifically Category 2 and 3, over people. This acceptance means that the document "Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over People", version 2.1, provides a way, but not the only way, to meet FAA safety regulations. Any future changes to this document will need further FAA approval. The decision was officially issued on December 20, 2024.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has said that a plan from VT MAAP about flying small drones over people is okay to use, but it's not the only plan you can use to follow FAA rules.
