The FAA has recently changed the Part 91 waiver process to expedite waivers for qualified Public Aircraft Operators (PAOs) as defined in 49 USC 40102(a)(41) who also meet the definition of Public Safety Organization (PSO) as defined in 49 USC 44806(e). This expedited waiver process enables Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) operations, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, operations over people, and operations over moving vehicles with safety mitigations, at varying altitudes and distances depending on aircraft safety equipage and detection (and avoidance) technology employed in the operations by the applicant. These operations are conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.
