1. Raise the Ceiling to 400’/500’
Allows us to operate much more efficiently
Greatly reduces the amount of ground control and the number of flight lines needed for project areas
If raised to 500’ would that allow us to fly over highways?

2. Remove the Requirement for Landowner Permission
This is very restrictive and costly and in some cases nearly impossible
Creates issues for our clients as well – opening a can of worms if you will having to gain permission or educate landowners on details of projects

3. Better Definition of “Densely Populated Areas”
There is no clear definition that I could find in FAA legal opinions or court precedent. This being the case, we have to use our “best judgment” and error on the conservative side when deciding whether or not an area is densely populated.
Which means passing up on many project opportunities

4. BVLOS Beyond Visual Line of Sight
Most small UAS are limited to line of sight (LOS) operations (legislation)
LOS is typically 0.5 to 1 mile
Assumes observer at GCS
Result is collection square with maximum area of 2 square miles in ideal conditions
