Drone Source and Deadline Ledger

How to use

Start with the lifecycle label, then read the source date, checked date, deadline or event date, update trigger, and claim boundary before opening the related Drone Home page. If a row says a deadline has passed, do not infer an outcome from this ledger alone.

Checked date

Checked date means the date Drone Home last checked the listed source URL for this ledger. It is not a publication date, rule-effective date, approval date, or guarantee that the source will remain unchanged.

General information

This ledger is general information for U.S. drone readers. It does not decide whether a specific flight, aircraft, registration, waiver, authorization, purchase, service, or business use is allowed.

Disclosure

Drone Home does not sell a filing service, submit comments, process FAA or FCC requests, or receive compensation from the sources listed in this ledger.

Source method

Rows use official government sources first when a rule, deadline, agency action, or public process is involved. First-party company sources are labeled as company announcements and are limited to what that source says.
