The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded a Section 333 Grant of Exemption and Certificate of Waiver and Authorization (COA) to UAV Solutions for its Talon 120LE fixed wing UAS to conduct aerial data collection, the company announced on 14 January. 

On receiving the COA, the company can now operate the UAS at or below 200ft above ground level in the National Airspace System (NAS). 

The grant is in addition to the Section 333s that the company received in 2015 for the Phoenix 30 and Phoenix 60 multi rotor UAS. 

Among the other pending applications made by the company include one for the Phoenix ACE LE, a small lightweight multi rotor – under 5 lbs – that has the ability to fly for up to one hour.

Bill Davidson, CEO, UAV Solutions, said: ‘Securing the authorisation to fly in the NAS has been a goal for UAVS. This privilege will allow us to demonstrate our systems for potential customers and provide a safe means to enhance features on our current systems.’
