Hylio is moving forward with an exemption for sophisticated aerial spraying operations. The extent of regulatory red tape the FAA is allowing Hylio to bypass in this single decision shows a large level of complexity and progression in the regulatory space.   The approved exemption allows: 1. A single pilot-in-command (PIC) to operate up to three drones at once WITHOUT a visual observer. 2. Operations to be conducted in a NIGHT setting. 3. Operations to be conducted BEYOND visual line of sight.   The simultaneous operation of three drones by a single PIC is unheard of in the aviation and UAS industries. On top of that, the proposed drone structures are larger than 55 pounds, pushing them into a totally different class for commercial operations. The FAA's decision to grant Hylio's multi-regulation exemption showcases its willingness to support and adapt to changing industry goals in a greater capacity than years past. What does Hylio's capabilities or regulatory exemption mean for the future of drone regulation?
