17 "A Bird's Eye View: Key Developments and Critical Legal Issues Impacting Drones in Agribusiness" June 2016

18 NGAT Program History Launched in 2012 under NCDOT Division of Aviation Leadership Goal: Develop NC UAS Ecosystem Home: Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) Began UAS flight operations March 2013 at Hyde County Airport Now approved for nationwide operations Established as an NC State Consortium in 2015 NGAT Consortium at NC State University- a consortium of academia, industry, and government agencies created to provide a research and application oriented, technology transfer-focused organization for conducting aviation technology development, investigations, and field trials Core member of ASSURE Alliance selected May 2015 for the FAA UAS Center of Excellence research program for 5 years.

19 UAS: Potential Uses Emergency Response Mapping / Aerial Photography Homeland Security Agriculture Mining Forestry Wildlife Resources Transportation Investigation Drug Enforcement Anti-terrorism Law Enforcement First Responder Support Weather Research Disaster Analysis Airport Planning Entertainment Insurance Assessments Others

20 NGAT UAS Operations / Research Flight Summary Started 3/21/2013 Nationwide 400 Blanket COA Section 333 Exemption (6 aircraft) At least one flight per week ~900 flights ~200 hours of flight time Research: Airspace integration Agriculture Surveying Control and Communications Airworthiness Analysis Services Flight Operations Data Analysis Program Development Data Management Structure Reporting

21 Ag Airspace Integration

22 FAA UAS Center of Excellence, the ASSURE Alliance:

23 NGAT Imagery from Lake Wheeler Farm

24 NGAT Soil Science Research

25 UAS: Best Practices Expectation Management Operating Procedures Crew Selection and Qualifications Policies Data Management Protect the Integrity of the Airspace and the General Public!

26 NCDOT UAS Program Office Provide safety, guidance, and educational materials and resources Manage the UAS Working Group Ensure UAS operations in NC are safe and comply with NC law Support private sector growth by working with the Commerce Partnership Implement operator testing and permitting as required by the General Statutes Maintain the state s long-term Strategic Plan to support UAS activities ncdot.gov/aviation/uas/ 10 Transportation

27 NC UAS Operators Knowledge Test Ensures understanding of NC laws related to UAS Operations Download Study Guide, Take test and receive score immediately 25 questions, randomly selected from a 71 potential questions All UAS operators encouraged to take it Commercial and Government UAS Operators Required to Pass 11 Transportation

28 For More Information (704) It is not really necessary to look too far into the future; we see enough already to be certain it will be magnificent. Only let us hurry and open the roads. - Wilbur Wright

29 TWO CATEGORIES OF DRONE USAGE Recreational or hobby use Commercial UAS Operation DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 2

30 WHAT IS A COMMERCIAL UAS OPERATION? Commercial UAS Operation = Anything that is even slightly business related Clearly agribusiness use would be a commercial UAS operation DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 3

31 FAA APPROVALS FOR COMMERCIAL UAS OPERATION Commercial UAS operation approval by FAA has a three step process 1. Apply for and receive an N-number aircraft registration for the drone 2. Obtain a special Section 333 exemption 3. Obtain a certificate of authorization or waiver (COA) to fly in specifically described airspace DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 4

32 N-NUMBER AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION N-number registration must be applied for and received Identifies drone is flying in inappropriate space or operating in an inappropriate manner DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 5

33 SECTION 333 EXEMPTION Commercial aircraft which transport people are subject to stringent airworthiness and inspection requirements But drones which do not transport people, get a Section 333 exemption because of this Section 333 petition is stringent and requires Detailed information about specific drone and its intended use The pilot(s) who will fly it must be a licensed pilot, training guidelines due before end of June Each petition is carefully scrutinized, and takes about 6 months to procure DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 6

34 CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION OR WAIVER (COA) COA application submitted at same time as the Section 333 petition Required if drone is to fly over 400 feet Not required if drone will only fly under 400 feet DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 7

35 STATE LAW VS. FEDERAL LAW Federal government considers its laws and rules to be preemptive Many states have adopted laws concerning drone operations Vary from state to state, so we will not cover here today DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 8

36 OTHER LIMITATIONS/REQUIREMENTS IN GENERAL Not fly within five miles of an airport Not too close to other facilities such as nuclear power plants Fly in good weather Fly within line of sight Not endanger anyone Common law principles such as private property rights, nuisance, invasion of privacy, and prudent liability will apply DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 9

37 PRACTICAL CONCLUSIONS As increased use of drones in agribusiness comes about, will likely be the case that: Very large farmers may fly their own drones Private companies will overfly smaller farmers operations for a fee (like crop dusters) Caution! Check contract provisions for ownership of data Photo: CBS News DRONE WEBINAR Nexsen Pruet PrecisionHawk NGAT 10
