Ensure the safety and success of your sUAS night operations.
Flying in low light conditions adds an additional level of complexity and risk that drone pilots must thoroughly understand before launching night operations. The FAA requires drone pilots to submit a waiver and complete specialized training in order to perform commercial sUAS operations at night. Our Night Flight Package offers comprehensive training on night flight operations and night physiology as well as guidance on obtaining a night operations waiver.
