FAA removes roving drone no-fly zones around DHS vehicles
→Drone operators can resume flight planning near moving DHS vehicles
Change
US FAA rescinded drone no-fly zones around moving Department of Homeland Security vehicles after January's NOTAM expansion.
Why it matters
Roving temporary flight restrictions tied to DHS ground vehicles are removed. Drone operators remain subject to fixed federal-facility restrictions and standard FAA rules under FDC 6/4375.
Implications
- → Drone operators must update flight-planning checks for DHS vehicle restrictions — moving DHS vehicles no longer create roving FAA no-fly zones.
- → Remote pilot certificate holders must revise operating checklists — self-imposed grounding around unmarked DHS vehicles is no longer required under the rescinded restriction.
