The FAA is moving to streamline regulatory approvals for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) by implementing Section 927 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, allowing regulatory relief through waivers rather than exemptions. New proposed Part 108 and Part 146 regulations, expected to be finalized in early to mid-2026, will enable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations without individual waivers and introduce new operator roles.
