Section 333 Exemption

Section 333 of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Modernization and Reform Act allows certain unmanned aircraft systems (drones) to operate without the need for a specific FAA exemption. This applies primarily to educational, research, and safety purposes, enabling entities like schools and non-profits to use drones without excessive regulation, as long as they follow basic safety guidelines. The goal is to foster innovation and advancements in aviation technology while maintaining public safety and airspace integrity.
