This course is designed for agencies evaluating or advancing a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. We break down the operational and regulatory pathways - Part 107-PSO, Shielded Operations BVLOS waiver or full automated DFR deployment.
This course walks your team through the operational and regulatory differences between each model so you can make informed decisions about where your agency is today and where it needs to go.
What’s included:
Overview of DFR operational models (Part 107-PSO, Shielded Ops, Automated DFR)
FAA regulatory pathways and waiver requirements
BVLOS and Shielded Operations framework explained
Coverage considerations and deployment models
SOP structure and key components (with templates provided)
Pilot workflows and dispatch coordination overview
Equipment categories and system requirements
Policy, safety, and public transparency considerations
DFR Program Starter Kit (templates + decision framework)
Best for: Agencies that want the benefits of flying beyond visual line of sight — without the infrastructure investment of a fully automated DFR program — and need to understand which FAA regulatory pathway is the right fit for their jurisdiction, staffing, and operational goals.
Format:
Onsite (up to 4 hours)
