uAvionix has confirmed that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted the company approval to operate an Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) in North Dakota through the use of the Vantis Command and Control (C2) and Detect and Avoid (DAA) network.

With this exemption approval, the way is clearer for BVLOS operations, especially in North Dakota, where the infrastructure can be leveraged for repeatable operations.

This approval comes in the form of exemption from, among others, regulations 14 CFR 91.113(b) and 14 CFR 61.3(a)(1).
