Today, the FAA approved two new Section 333 petitions for exemption to Pravia LLC of Florida relating to crop inspection for a seed producer. This brings the total to 21 US companies and individuals now possessing FAA approval to fly UAS commercially, with several companies receiving several exemptions or amendments to their original grant of exemption.

• Pravia #1
• Pravia #2

Since January 23rd, the FAA approved the following Section 333 petitions for exemption:

• Burnz Eye View
• Shotover Camera Systems
• Slugwear- Likeonatree
• Aerial Team 5
• Total Safety US

Again, just as with previous Section 333 exemptions, the FAA continues to require that the Pilot in Command (PIC) possesses at least a private pilot certificate and a current third-class medical certificate.
