On the evening of June 25, 2024, the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) presented a webinar titled Pro Tips for Part 137 UAS Pilots and Operators. The speakers included two industry drone pilots and two FAA representatives familiar with Part 137 drone operations. The focus of the webinar was on the importance of professionalism and safety for drone pilots making aerial applications.
NAAA CEO Andrew Moore was interviewed by Ambrook Research for an article titled, “Hive Mentality: Drone swarms are on the horizon.” The article discusses the approval and increase of drones for agricultural spraying purposes but points out that there are still a lot of unknowns with using drone technology.
The members and staff of NAAA wish to offer their condolences to the family and friends of Sage Teichert, who perished on June 20, 2024, in the sixth fatal ag accident of the year. The accident, a mid-air collision survived by the other pilot, occurred in Butte County, Idaho. Sage leaves behind a wife and four children ages 4 to 16 years old.
