Navigate the New Rules with Confidence
Part 108 certification is complex. Our regulatory experts have guided operators through the process from day one—and we build compliance programs designed for what comes next.
The Challenge
Part 108 Isn't Part 107
If you've operated under Part 107, you know a relatively simple framework: pass a test, register your aircraft, follow the rules. Part 108 is different.
The new regulations introduce Safety Management Systems (SMS), detailed documentation requirements, crew training standards, maintenance protocols, and ongoing compliance obligations. For operators used to Part 107's simplicity, the jump can be overwhelming.
And Part 108 is just the first wave. As the FAA continues to expand autonomous operations—higher altitudes, more complex environments, new operational categories—the regulatory landscape will only grow more complex.
Building a compliance foundation that scales matters.
