U.S.A

In the United States, the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) are enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) regulations in the USA and Canada were developed jointly along with other nations. The FAA and Transport Canada (TC) collaborate in the area of aviation safety, with a specific focus on UAS in the United States and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) in Canada.

In the USA, FulcrumAir can fly the E2500HP VLOS under Part 107 of the FAR. In addition:

  • FulcrumAir has been granted a 44807 exemption to operate its E7500 in the USA
  • FulcrumAir is actively pursuing a Type Certificate to fly the E7500 VLOS
  • We are actively pursuing BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) approval to fly the E2500HP
