BEYOND program: BVLOS operational trials
The FAA's successor to the UAS Integration Pilot Program, documenting BVLOS trials with state, local, and tribal partners across public safety and infrastructure inspection to inform rulemaking.
Key takeaways
- Regulators are building rules from operational data, not theory.
- Public safety and infrastructure missions lead the trial portfolio.
- Community engagement is an explicit program objective.
