DOWNLOAD GUTMA’s COMMENT ON THE FAA’S Proposed BVLOS Rulemaking
The GUTMA US BVLOS Task Force produced a position paper by collecting and synthesizing perspectives from GUTMA members on areas of support and concern within the FAA’s approach.
This task force has examined the FAA’s proposed BVLOS rulemaking and its broader impact on the global UTM ecosystem, focusing on regulatory and technical interoperability.
In September, the GUTMA Task Force submitted an official comment to the FAA, including:
- Detailed summary of FAA’s proposed rules on BVLOS operations (Part 108) and Automated Data Service Providers (Part 146)
- Technical and policy analysis of cross-jurisdictional compatibility
- GUTMA recommendations for alignment or clarification
GUTMA emphasizes that the proposed rules are a significant step but encourages the FAA to leverage existing artifacts, align with international standards, and avoid premature or US-only requirements to ensure global interoperability and harmonization.
The following GUTMA members contributed to this Task Force: Zipline (Task Force Leader), Airwayz Israel, ASTM, CAA Israel, Ericsson, ResilienX, TruWeather Solutions, Unifly, Wing.
