FAA Streamlines Part 107 Waiver Process for BVLOS and Night Operations
Quick summary
The FAA's DroneZone portal now offers expedited review for repeat operators with safety case templates for BVLOS, ops over people, and 107.39 waivers.
Operators with a clean safety record can pre-file a base safety case and reuse it for subsequent waiver requests. This reduces review time from 90+ days to as low as 14 days for established applicants. Common waivers include 107.31 (BVLOS), 107.39 (operations over people), and 107.41 (controlled airspace). The new templates are available at FAA DroneZone.
