"Having an aircraft approved to operate over people will fundamentally change the way drone operations can be planned and conducted in the U.S.," said Tombo Jones, director of the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership. This major milestone has been achieved by AgEagle following months of work, historic reliability review and extensive testing conducted by Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership ("MAAP") based on the Means of Compliance MAAP has developed, and which is accepted as proof of compliance by the FAA. Now that the eBee has proven compliant with Category 3 of the rules, eBee drone operators no longer require an FAA waiver for OOP or Operations Over Moving Vehicles. Securing a Part 107 certificate of waiver from the FAA is a long, arduous and costly process for sUAS users. We believe it will further improve the business applications made possible by our drone platform for a wide range of commercial enterprises which stand to benefit from adoption of drones in their businesses - particularly those in industries such as insurance for assessment of storm damage, telecommunications for network coverage mapping and energy for powerline and pipeline inspections, just to name a few."
