About Part 108

Understanding the proposed regulations for unmanned aircraft systems beyond visual line of sight operations.

A drone is flying high in the sky above a large, open grassy field. In the background, there is a row of trees with a few buildings partially obscured by the foliage. The sky is mostly clear with some clouds scattered across it.

Part 108 Overview

What is Part 108?

Part 108 is a proposed rulemaking by the FAA and TSA for UAS operations beyond visual line of sight.

What are BVLOS operations?

BVLOS operations allow unmanned aircraft systems to fly beyond the pilot's visual line of sight at low altitudes.

What is UTM?

UTM stands for UAS Traffic Management, which supports safe integration of UAS into the airspace for various services.

What are the approval tiers?

The approval framework includes operating permits and operating certificates for BVLOS operations.

What are population-density rules?

Population-density rules in Part 108 help manage ground risk associated with BVLOS operations.

When was Part 108 proposed?

Part 108 was proposed on August 7, 2025, to regulate UAS operations beyond visual line of sight.
