FAA policy for public safety is shifting fast—and it just got a lot easier to start or scale your Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. The FAA has created a new waiver process for public safety operations - offering a streamlined path to obtaining a Part 91 BVLOS Certificate of Waiver (COW). The process cuts approval times in half, offers a path to fly above UAS Facility Map altitudes, and doesn’t even require a CAPS application! Join regulatory expert Jakee Stoltz as he breaks down exactly how the new process works and what it means for your agency.

Whether you’re launching a new program or expanding advanced operations, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to navigate the latest FAA process updates. Don’t miss it.
