Red Raven UAS Weekly Briefing: FAA Targets Critical Infrastructure Airspace, BVLOS Normalization Strategy Drops, and DJI Comments Close May 11 (May 8, 2026)

The FAA moved in two directions at once this week: proposing a new UAFR process for critical infrastructure while publishing the first official BVLOS road map. We break down what both mean for commercial operators, cover the May 11 DJI FCC reply deadline, the wireless industry's push for dedicated drone spectrum, a small government agency drone adoption success story, and AirData's Commercial Drone Alliance membership ahead of Part 108.Show Notes Link: https://www.redravenuas.com/podcast/2026-05-08-weekly-briefingBlog Post Link: https://www.redravenuas.com/blog/2026-05-08-weekly-briefingPart 107 Course: https://www.redravenuas.com/part107Services: https://www.redravenuas.com/servicesFor UAS consulting, on-site training, and FAA Part 107 certification, visit redravenuas.comThis episode was produced using AI-assisted narration and editing under Red Raven editorial direction.
