Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the T&D World Live podcast producer Christina Marsh sits down with Nate Ernst, president of the Tactian Group, to explore how unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are reshaping electric utility operations. They discuss the FAA’s proposed Part 108 rule and how it will affect utility UAS operations. Part 108 would enable drones to cover longer distances and carry out more complex tasks, but it will also require more robust safety management systems and multi-person flight operations.
