Kittyhawk has a good example. I just used it as the framework for mine. Got approved in 6 days.

I found the Kittyhawk example but not in word format so that it can be edited. I think the download is a pdf. Did you find it in a format that could be edited? Thanks.

I downloaded it and then copied it into Word. Worked for me. Just highlight the text you want, hit copy then paste into word.

Yep, just did that. Not sure why I didn't realize that initially. Thanks.

I'm going to work on mine this weekend. Hopefully your approved soon. I'm still a little in the dark about the process. Just copied the Kittyhawk example myself. I assume after I edit for my own business I just mail it or can you submit electronically?

I recieved my part 107.29 daytime waiver today, im soo happy, the kittyhawk example really helped me. it took about 2 weeks roughly ,i had to give more info before they considered

Phaedrus · May 19, 2020

Only took a week for mine. I guess they are slowing down.

Curious, what info were you asked for? I was not asked for anything else.

they wanted to know the training given to the VO etc when doing night stuff

Did you remove some of the training in the KH example? It was pretty thorough.....I hope that’s not an issue with mine. I submitted it 5/8 and it just went “Under Review” today.

i made a small change to the training provided to the VO and any other party involved,just a small thing

Mine was approved today. The only changes they made were the Start Date and End Date. They made it valid for 4 years. 5/26/20 to 5/31/2024.

Dang, they used to be so hard to get back in 2016. Now they pass 'em out like candy; which is a good thing.
Seems like the feds are finally getting over their fears of drones .

I think they're recognizing the absurdity of the situation, where any old recreational joe can fly at night, but a trained, licensed drone pilot cannot. (should be the other way 'round) That, and we've hit on a winning example, the KittyHawk document. I used it as a basis and expanded the details to fit my operation.
