Trump Administration Eases Commercial Drone Regulations | JQJO

The Trump administration proposed new rules to streamline commercial drone use in the U.S., aiming to boost innovation. Currently, businesses face complex, case-by-case approvals for beyond-line-of-sight operations. The new proposal would establish a standardized process, requiring drones to meet safety standards, including collision avoidance technology. Commercial drone flights over large gatherings would be banned, and some employees would undergo TSA security checks. The proposal follows an executive order and addresses concerns about lagging U.S. drone technology compared to global competitors. A 60-day public comment period is underway.
