Operation and Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

NetMoby, Inc., a company incorporated in the District of Columbia, opposes the FAA's Final Rule because it prohibits the use of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) for transporting property for compensation or hire between locations within the District of Columbia. The company argues that this exclusion is arbitrary and capricious, as it relies on anachronistic legislation from 1958 and fails to provide a rational connection between the facts and the regulatory choice.

The commenter suggests that the FAA should publish a specific list of acceptable mitigation measures for sUAS Certificate of Authorization (COA) requests. They argue that providing clearer guidance on standards for restricted airspace (such as Class B and C) would benefit both the sUAS community and the FAA's processing efficiency.
