[Edward S Horvath]

Has anyone been dealing with the FAA for Part 137 exemptions?

We have not done this yet but are preparing to do so. What particular area are you looking to be exempt from, spraying pesticides, fertilizers and fungicides?

We are working in mosquito control

Our local area was selected to participate in the UAS Integration Pilot Program specifically with mosquito control. Good luck with your endeavors.

I have been following, a little, with what LCMCD has been doing. It is easier to integrate when you have the largest budget in the USA for mosquito control.

Do you care to share the process or what all was involved?

Do you care to share the process or what all was involved?

I will as soon as we have it narrowed down. Ran into a hiccup and waiting for the FAA to respond.

 

[Edward S Horvath]

Finally completed the 137 portion!

 

[Edward S Horvath]

Do you care to share the process or what all was involved?

Well, it took longer to get the Exemptions approved than the process to get tested and approved. The exemptions are the most important. Take your time with those and know what you want to do.

Hello. I am a cattle farmer and I am looking into precision agriculture for my own farm as well as farmers located in my area. I am currently Part 107 certified and am currently going through the Ag Pesticide testing that is required by the state. Would I also need to be Part 137 certified as well for this type of vertical?

Thanks for any helpful information.

Thanks again.

You planning to dispense chemicals from the UAS?
Does the take off weight exceed 55 pounds (I'm guessing it would have to, to be effective)? That takes it out of part 107 and into a whole different regulatory umbrella (Airworthiness Certification) and Part 137 rules.

The best answers will come from your local FSDO.
