Duncan-Parnell Granted FAA Section 333 Exemption

Duncan-Parnell, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted an exemption that will allow the company to conduct commercial operation of the Trimble® UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution and the Skyview Aerial Solutions MQ4/MQ8 in the U.S. The exemption was granted pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, which authorizes the FAA to grant exemptions from FAA rules limiting commercial operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) pending the adoption of permanent rules. Section 333 exemptions are intended to “provide a pathway for civil operators who desire safe and legal entry” into the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS).

Chuck Drouillard of Duncan-Parnell is a licensed pilot and also certified to fly the Trimble UX5 fixed wing aircraft, the Trimble ZX5 multirotor aircraft, and the Skyview MQ4/MQ8 multirotor aircraft. Contact Chuck for all your UAS needs [email protected] .
