The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has accepted Sinclair\u2019s Declaration of Compliance for Operations Over People, making Sinclair the first broadcast company authorized to fly drones over individuals and moving vehicles without needing an FAA waiver for newsgathering under FAA rules.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe FAA\u2019s authorization allows Sinclair to operate specially modified drones while adhering to strict safety protocols and procedures that meet federal requirements.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis approval represents a significant step forward in our ability to deliver high-quality, innovative journalism,\u201d said Scott Livingston, Senior Vice President of News for Sinclair. \u201cBy incorporating expanded drone footage, we enhance our coverage of breaking news, local events, weather, and community stories\u2014offering our audiences more compelling and dynamic storytelling. Our ongoing partnership with Virginia Tech has been instrumental in ensuring the highest safety and training standards.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSinclair\u2019s Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) program, launched in 2016, operates across 50 newsrooms nationwide and has completed over 40,000 logged flights to date. The program includes 148 FAA certified pilots and 540 trained visual observers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSinclair is committed to ensuring its drone operations are conducted safely and responsibly. All Sinclair drone pilots undergo rigorous training at Virginia Tech\u2019s Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmaap.ictas.vt.edu%2F&amp;esheet=54232476&amp;newsitemid=20250402249599&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=MAAP&amp;index=1&amp;md5=8e45f776c19f60f8f4757ff3808d03d9\">MAAP<\/a>), an FAA-designated UAS test site. This partnership ensures pilots are equipped with advanced skills and knowledge in drone operations and safety procedures.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur dedication to safety is paramount and this achievement is the result of more than a year of extensive preparation, testing, and collaboration with industry and government partners. We\u2019ve also conducted community outreach meetings in each market where we operate drones, engaging with first responders, Homeland Security, education officials, local government agencies, and the FAA,\u201d said Jeff Rose, Sinclair\u2019s UAS Chief Pilot.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCommenting on the partnership, Tombo Jones, director for the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership said, \u201cWe have worked for years with Sinclair, helping to train their pilots, and I have always been impressed with their professionalism and commitment to safety. We were proud to build on that theme by using our FAA-approved test method to test a modified drone that allows Sinclair&#8217;s pilots to meet the FAA&#8217;s stringent safety requirements for operating over people or traffic.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith this new FAA approval, Sinclair continues to lead the industry in integrating cutting-edge technology into broadcast journalism. This capability applies to Sinclair\u2019s fleet of drones and trained pilots, ensuring compliance with the highest safety standards while expanding the scope of aerial news coverage.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Sinclair:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nSinclair, Inc.
