US 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US FAA rescinded drone no-fly zones around moving Department of Homeland Security vehicles.
Why it matters
The revision removes roving temporary flight restrictions tied to DHS ground vehicles. Drone operators still remain subject to fixed federal-facility restrictions and standard FAA rules.
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must revise operating checklists — self-imposed grounding around unmarked DHS vehicles is no longer required under the rescinded restriction.
