My blanket Certificate of Waiver of Authorization (COA) says I can fly a drone at night, but does it have to be in an emergency situation? How do you train for this if you can't fly at night?

The approval to operate under the COA, including the provision for night operations, is still restricted to an operation that meets the definition of a governmental function (Title 49 USC 40125(a)2) . If the unmanned aircraft is a component for the training mission, it can be flown under the COA.

Still can't find what you are looking for? Please feel free to contact the UAS Support Center for general questions and comments.
