What changed

NextGen Drones LLC, a drone manufacturer, has formally requested an update from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding the status of a Section 44807 petition they recently submitted. The request seeks confirmation of receipt and information on how to monitor the petition's progress through the FAA's review process. The company also highlighted a non-functional phone number previously provided for petition-related inquiries and asked for an updated contact point.

While this document is a request for information rather than a regulatory change, it highlights the need for regulated entities to have clear channels for communication with the FAA regarding petition status. Companies involved in drone operations or seeking exemptions under Section 44807 should ensure they have the correct contact information for the FAA's petition review process and be prepared to follow any established procedures for status updates. The FAA is expected to respond to this inquiry, potentially clarifying communication protocols.

Comment

Dear FAA Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I recently submitted my Section 44807 petition and wanted to kindly request confirmation that it has been received.

I would also appreciate any guidance on how I may check the status of my petition as it moves through review. If there is a direct department, contact person, phone number, or email address I should use for updates, I would be very grateful if you could share that information.

I also wanted to note that the phone number listed on the website, (202) 267-9677, does not appear to be working at all, as I have been unable to get through. If there is an updated number or a better point of contact for petition-related questions, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Please feel free to contact me at 361-391-3826 if needed.

Thank you very much for your time, assistance, and consideration. I appreciate all the work your office does and look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
Tim Tzscharne
