Part 108 is about more than flying farther.
It is about creating the regulatory and organizational foundation for BVLOS operations that can be repeatable, scalable, and safe.
Pete Frank breaks down the bigger picture in 4 minutes.

#AutonomousOperations#DroneTechnology
Our Central Ohio Proof of Value showed how BVLOS, LiDAR + RGB can turn long-range inspection into actionable data—without requiring utilities to build an entire drone program.

More than a vertical takeoff.
Testing hover, lateral movement, and low-speed control helps us evaluate aircraft behavior before transitioning to fixed-wing flight.
Different flight regimes. One aircraft.
#VTOL#UAS#FlightTesting#DroneEngineering
A successful drone pilot is only the beginning.
The real challenge is building repeatable, scalable aerial intelligence across an entire network.
Our roadmap explores what it takes to move from pilot to program.

What should organizations be doing now to prepare for Part 108?
In the final episode of FAA Part 108 Explained, Pete Frank covers CONOPS, operational complexity, personnel, safety management, training, and UAS selection.
#BVLOS#Part108#FAA
What could Part 108 mean for infrastructure inspection?
Episode 5 of FAA Part 108 Explained looks at repeatable BVLOS inspections, remote operations, EdgeDock, and why some organizations may choose Drones as a Service instead of building an internal program.
#BVLOS#Part108
Part 108 could bring greater operational flexibility, but also new organizational responsibilities.
Episode 4 of FAA Part 108 Explained, Pete Frank breaks down proposed requirements around reporting, recordkeeping, personnel, automation, and safety management.

After landfall, the work begins.
Following Hurricane Isaias, Censys pilots and field teams have been collecting post-storm colorized LiDAR data along Florida’s Gulf Coast — turning urgent response needs into actionable asset intelligence.
#LiDAR#UAS#BVLOS#Geospatial
Brought in for a last-minute Hurricane Isaias response, Censys rapidly coordinated BVLOS authorization and deployed for colorized LiDAR collection along US-98 from Pensacola toward Carrabelle, FL — covering up to 200 asset miles before and after the storm.
#LiDAR#BVLOS#UAS
The FAA Part 108 proposal also shifts the regulatory model from individual waivers and other specific authorization pathways toward an organizational framework for qualifying operations.
Pete Frank explains the shift in Episode 3 of FAA Part 108 Explained.
#BVLOS#Part108#FAA
BVLOS is possible today.
Scaling it is the harder part.
In Episode 2 of FAA Part 108 Explained, Pete Frank breaks down why current approval pathways can be resource-intensive and why consistency is critical to repeatable BVLOS operations.
#BVLOS#Part108#FAA
Utilities don’t need more disconnected files.
They need aerial data that moves from collection to insight, then into GIS, dashboards, and maintenance action.
Our latest article breaks down the workflow behind better utility management decisions.

Two weeks until Mission to Insight goes live.
Watch EdgeDock deploy the Sentaero 6, follow the mission through CensOps and see CensWise turn collected data into actionable intelligence—all in real time.
