Ops Over People

Mountain West UAS member Vic Moss recently received the first of its kind 107.39/107.145 waiver granted by the FAA for the DJI Mini 3 Pro. While the waiver is currently only good for the Mini 3 Pro, he has also applied for a modification to include the Mini 4 Pro. And since the Mini 4 Pro weighs in at a couple of grams heavier, he has also asked for a 385 gram modification, instead of his currently 380 gram limit on the waiver. As with all 107.39 waivers, Vic can only use the Mini 3 Pro unless he gets his modification for the Mini 4 Pro. And he has to maintain a 50’ clearance over people. He has asked for 20’ in his modification.
