Ethan Schreuder, Woolpert’s UAS team lead for US-based drone operations, discusses some of the latest developments in the uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) industry—including what the FAA’s recently passed Reauthorization Act of 2024 means for drone operations across the country. 
 
Due to the fast-paced nature of the industry, this podcast was recorded in a few installments over the last few weeks. As with any snapshot in time, there are further updates to report… like Woolpert Aviation Research Analyst Adam Ackermann’s perspectives on the potential framework for a Part 108 beyond visual line-of-sight rule, or the blanket waiver recently issued (with some restrictions) for the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise with the AVSS Arresting System by the FAA. 
 
Regardless, this chat with Ethan (as with all chats with Ethan) shares invaluable background and scope on the evolving world of UAS. He also notes, for the record, he is not a lawyer and that Woolpert uses drones from a variety of manufacturers.
